The full idiom is "to put your foot in your mouth." It means that you have accidentally said something really embarrassing.
An example would be if you told a friend "Those children are really behaving badly -- their parents must not discipline them at all" and then you found out that the kids were your friend's children! That would be "putting your foot in your mouth" or "putting your foot in it."
