A type of suicide that sometimes shows up in eastern works. Need to kill yourself in a hurry without using your hands? Just bite your tongue ''really'' hard! It’s like having a stored a [[Cyanide Pill]] in your mouth, but you don’t need to prepare in advance. This probably works better in fiction than real life.
An involuntary similar action might be preformed (in fiction) by someone undergoing a seizure, although in this case the concern is being swallowed, not bitten off (although this is a myth https://health.clevelandclinic.org/2014/06/swallowing-your-tongue-and-other-epilepsy-myths/ ).
