	Encyclopedia: Tongue in cheek
		Mention repeated cheek or tongue biting to your dentist, who will check the fit of your dentures or the alignment of your teeth.
		Unless you fall or are hit hard enough to bite yourself deeply, cheek and tongue bites are usually harmless little nips that sting for just a bit.
		But some people actually do stick their tongue against the inside of their cheek after saying a joke to show that they're only kidding.

	Wordwizard Clubhouse - tongue in cheek.........
		Perhaps the most famous instance of "tongue in cheek" rhetoric in English literature is Jonathan Swift's 1729 essay "A Modest Proposal," in which Swift spotlights the abject poverty of the Irish people at that time by facetiously suggesting that Irish parents sell their children to the rich for use as food.
		The Oxford English Dictionary defines the phrase "tongue in cheek" as "Ironic, slyly humorous; not meant to be taken seriously." Something said or written "tongue in cheek" pretends to be serious in order to make a joke, although the joke made often has a serious point.
		Shannon, TONGUE IN CHEEK apparently began its life in the mid 18th century as the phrase THRUSTING ONE’S TONGUE IN ONE’S CHEEK, which was a gesture of, mocking, contempt which did not involve the spoken word.

		The remainder of The Anatomy of the Tongue in Cheek doesn't do much at all for Relient K or their listeners for that matter.
		One of Christian music's most popular punk bands has returned, this time shelling out an entirely fresh arsenal of 17 tracks on their sophomore release, The Anatomy of the Tongue in Cheek.
		That trio of songs is an offering of worship to the Father, pleading for God to be with us in the times that we feel the most alone, and stressing that words alone cannot convey the love we have for Christ.

	Relient K - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This song mixes the sounds of The Anatomy of the Tongue in Cheek and their third album, Two Lefts Don't Make a Right...but Three Do.
		Two Lefts Don't Make a Right...but Three Do combined the soft, meaningful songs of The Anatomy of the Tongue in Cheek and threw in fast-paced songs with deep lyrics, though it leant more towards to pop side of pop-punk than their previous efforts.
		It landed them in the Christian rock limelight, as they were then asked to do their rendition of the popular VeggieTales song "The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything" for the 2002 VeggieTales movie Jonah.
