The tongue can flip backward and block the flow of air into the windpipe. This can happen while a person is unconscious, and may also occur where the tongue has become swollen. To open an airway that is blocked by the tongue, first aid treatment includes tilting the head back while lifting the chin (but not where spinal injury is suspected).
Possibly, if the bleeding was unstemmed long enough to bleed to death. ---- As there are no major blood vessels in the tongue, it would take a long time for copious volumes of blood to be lost so as to prove fatal. Second, it is a little-known fact that the tongue is one of the fastest healing body organs, so clots and new tissue should be formed before any significant blood loss. Cutting off the tongue was a common punishment in the Middle Ages, likewise cutting off hands and ears and other body parts. Painful, most certainly, but lethal? Hardly ever, if at all.
You cant. There are no bones in the tongue to break! You could bite down really hard and then it would bleed alot... wouldn't recommend it though cause you could die either from blood loss or choking on your own blood...
No, your tongue can not fall off. You can cut off part of your tongue, but your tongue actually goes back really far, so it can't literally fall off. You could choke on your tongue. For example, if you're drunk and unconscious, you could swallow it, and you wouldn't be able to do anything about it. The tongue would then block the airway and you wouldn't be able to breathe. But no, you can't swallow your tongue lol.
I'm not sure if it is possible to bite your tongue off.
What is possible, is that during a seizure you could inflict a very nasty wound on your tongue.
some people can. it depends on your flexability.if you stretch every day you will surely be able to bite your toe IF you stretch for about 3 weeks everyday.

When you bite your tongue with enough force it gives you the AIDZ.
because it hurts Romeo and Juliet play~biting your thumb is like the equivalent of the middle finger. Basically F you.
cut off the circulation of your finger and you tell me they have the same principle
yes, you can still taste Your taste buds do not connect to a central core prior to sending the chemical compounds to your brain. Splitting the tongue will probably kill quite a few taste buds (not as many as smoking, but still bad). I do believe that taste buds can not heal, but the types are spread throughout your tongue. Each section of the outer area of your tongue has a majority to each taste, such as the tip of your tongue contains mostly sweet sensing tastebuds, but those taste buds are still found throughout your tongue.
Are the ACTUAL holes or could it be that perhaps your tastebuds are inflammed slightly on the sides - making the 'holes' you see - actually spaces between the tastebuds? Or perhaps these are scars from biting your tongue? You could have geographic tongue, a benign condition. An internet search will provide good information. I have geographic tongue as well as psorisis. The two are often linked.
from biting it
The enlarged tongue was most likely because he kept biting his tongue. He might have been biting his tongue because he was nervous all of the time.
