Closed Mouth Gathers No Feet

A closed mouth gathers no feet.

A hand holds a fortune-style paper slip against a red background. The joke is a humorous twist on the saying “A closed mouth gathers no food,” replacing “food” with “feet” to describe someone who talks themselves into trouble. It can be sent as a reaction to an awkward oversharer or someone who keeps saying the wrong thing.
