Definition of "Tongue bite"?

[blendtobac]

A number of people have started to use the term leathertongue to describe a burned tongue to make it clear as to the cause of discomfort. I've never used "tongue bite" to refer to a burned tongue, only to the discomfort caused by sensitivity to alkalinity, and the older pipe smokers I've known (meaning that they're older than me) seem to differentiate between the two as well. Maybe it's a regional term, but that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
