Most likely, it means your tongue is swollen. After you've accidentally bitten your tongue (or your lip, for that matter) one time, there will be some swelling, making it likely you will bite it again a second or even a third time; this is especially likely if you have some dental problems, such as having what is called an "overbite," or a condition known as TMJ. If you often accidentally bite your tongue or your lip, you should make an appointment with a dentist to see if you need your bite corrected; this can be done by an orthodontist.

But if you are asking whether there is any special meaning or significance to doing the same thing three times, not usually. Three is a magical number in many myths, but in the case of biting your tongue or lip, myth probably does not apply, and applying medicine to reduce swelling will be helpful to you.

Is your tongue the fastest healing source in your body?

Yes it is because since your mouth contains so much moisture, it heals faster than expected than other body parts... I should know because recently, I bit my tongue and a piece of my tongue came off, and it only took 3 days to heal... I also skinned my knee and it took 10 weeks to heal, while my tongue took 3 days... So yes, your tongue IS the fastest healing source in your body.
