We can only hope.
"Tongue in check" has always mystified me,

like "kick the bucket"

(though I know what they're supposed to mean). Now in list traffic it's
always "tongue set firmly in cheek" like someone had a weird superglue
accident.
It's enough to make one move foot firmly to displace bucket.
No offense to anyone particular intended, regardless of politics,
