lips
Gloss goes here
Lips are the fleshy edges of the mouth, used for speaking, eating, and kissing.
The word extends to any rim or edge resembling them: the lip of a cup, the lip of a cliff.
To read lips is to understand speech by watching mouth movements.
Giving someone lip is talking back disrespectfully.
My lips are sealed promises secrecy.
To pay lip service is to express support without backing it with action.
