What is basically means when someone said to bite your tongue is to stop talking, or to briefly end a conversation with someone. Hence, “bite your tongue” does not only imply to generally stop talking, hence it may depend on the context or situation that the person is in. For children, it is often said to bite their tongue when they've said bad words or inappropriate words, whereas for adults, bite your tongue may usually mean to stop talking or hold your voice for a while.
