Definition of "Tongue bite"?

[RevSmoke]

I am not sure about this. When I get what is considered here "leather tongue," I find that straight up salt helps to alleviate the discomfort better than either wine or soda. Why would that be, as salt is supposedly neither a base nor an acid? Or am I wrong about salt?

Well, by your definition, your cure to "leather tongue" it salt. It would therefore have nothing to do with this person's definition of "tongue bite" (where the cure for this is an acidic drink).
