Measuring body temperature by keeping thermometer under the tongue is a convenient standardfor measuring one's body temperature. Other places used for keeping the thermometer includethe armpit and the rectum.
So you can measure the persons temp
so that the air from breathing does not pass over it and cool it thereby giving an incorrect readingTo give a true reading of inner body heat.Because the intense heat of our body is present under our tongue so that we can measure our whole body temperature .The underside of the tongue has the most bloodflow and is more accurate than any part of the mouth
First lets define "Penny Piece". A Penny Piece is a quite unattractive lady. If you see any lady that is under a 5.5 on the lady judgment scale, she is in fact a Penny Piece. So a Penny Piece is made from a man and a Penny Piece mating to conceive another Penny Piece.
The idea is based avoiding use of the thermometer when it is reading "higher" than what it is that is being measured. Let's look at what's happening. If we wash a clinical thermometer in hot water, it will respond to that hot water. That will cause the reading to shoot up well above a hundred degrees. If we then try to use it, it will have to "cool down" under the tongue of the person we're using it on. It is actually being cooled by that person. The thermometer will take a relatively long time to reach the temperature of the individual whose temperature is being measured. And this time will vary, but will be longer than it would be for the thermometer to "come up" to temperature. One of the directions for using these thermometers is to first shake it down until it reads less than 95 degrees or so. If you're starting with a thermometer than has just been washed in hot water, you're not going to be able to shake it down per the directions. You'll have to run it under cool water for a bit to cool it so you can use it.
under the tongue
A clinical thermometer is used to measure the body temperature. It is usually placed under the tongue, armpit, or rectum. Under the tongue is normally where it's placed.

To measure temperature of the body.
The thermometer is broken.Put the thermometer under your tongue.
under the tongue or in the armpit
under the tongue to the side of the mouth
under the tongue to the side of the mouth
You can take your temperature with a mercury thermometer is several places, the most common is in the mouth under the tongue while another place is under the armpit
Put a thermometer under your tongue and close your mouth tightly.
There are a net of blood vessels close to the surface under the tongue and this gives a true reading of the temperature of the blood (and hence the body).
