Common Theories on Origin

While the exact source of the phrase is unknown, popular folklore suggests a few possibilities:

• The Whip: Some believe it refers to the "cat-o'-nine-tails," a harsh whip used in the British Navy. The pain or fear of this punishment left sailors unable to speak.

• Ancient Egypt: Another unproven story claims that liars or blasphemers had their tongues cut out and fed to sacred cats.

• Witches: A different myth suggests witches allowed their black cats to steal people's voices.
