παίρνω πίσω αυτά που είπα, ανακαλώ Explanation: ''To take back what I said/ eat my words'' means that I said something that I regret and wish I hadn't said, whereas ''to be tongue tied'' means that I am speechless, that I have nothing to say, because I can't find the words (as if my tongue were tied in knots). |
