long tongue
Frog's fly-catcher
A long tongue describes someone who talks too much, especially about others' private affairs.
The image is of a tongue that wags freely and reaches into matters that don't concern it: She's got a long tongue—the whole neighborhood knows your business now.
The phrase suggests gossip, indiscretion, or inability to keep secrets.
