Re: OT: Piercings
That useless little flap of flesh is called the frenum, I believe.
It's been a goal of mine for years to have it cut, I just decided to do it myself instead of waiting for a local body-mod shop to take care of it, instead of telling me why I shouldn't have it done.
This is my only body-mod, the only one I intend to get, and the only time I have practiced self-surgury/mutiliation.
It's called 'freeing' the tongue because some people have such an overdeveloped frenum that their tongue is said to be 'tied'. Some people start their lives off without any frenum to speak of, I just got rid of mine.
