give mouth

give mouth
(give mouth (или tongue))
1) лаять, подавать голос (о собаках, напавших на след)

Away they went bravely on their hunt in the gray dawn of a summer morning, and soon the great dogs gave joyous tongue to say that they were already on the track of their quarry. (E. Seton-Thompson, ‘Lobo: the King of Currumpaw and Other Stories’, ‘Lobo: the King of Currumpaw’) — И вот они ранним утром, едва рассвело, отважно пустились в путь, и вскоре большие охотничьи собаки веселым лаем возвестили, что напали на след дичи.

2) говорить, высказываться, рассказывать

I have an opinion of you, sir, to which it is not easy to give mouth. (Ch. Dickens, ‘Our Mutual Friend’, part II, ch. VII) — я уже составил себе мнение о вас, сэр, но его нелегко сказать вслух.

And he chafed the more because his training and his disposition forbade him lying tongue. (J. Galsworthy, ‘Maid in Waiting’, ch. III) — Он сердился еще и потому, что воспитание и характер не позволяли ему высказаться прямо.

But I knew better than to give tongue to this question. (J. Baldwin, ‘Tell Me How Long the Train's Been Gone’, book I) — я был не настолько глуп, чтобы задать этот вопрос.
