"By word of mouth" means that news, information, or gossip is being spread not by print but by people speaking to each other.
It's not an idiom, it's a description. Go look in a mirror and close your mouth and you'll see what it means. It's someone who isn't talking.
The idiom "my heart was in my mouth" means feeling extremely anxious or nervous to the point where it feels like your heart is pounding heavily in your chest.
A 'potty mouth' is someone who uses profanity, or 'nasty' language. The 'potty' is slang for a toilet, so essentially you are calling someone 'toilet mouth', for their nasty language.

It can be a literal meaning: actual foam forms in your saliva and drips out of your mouth. It can also be figurative, as in you are so angry or crazy that you feel as though you are foaming at the mouth.
Hogs will foam at the mouth when they are overheated. This is also a sign of rabies, however, this is a rare condition in pigs.
