Cách sử dụng
The expression "with your tongue in your cheek" means that someone is making a statement that is not completely serious, and is probably meant to be funny or ironic. It's a way of saying something without actually meaning it. You might use this expression when you are joking around with friends or when you want to say something sarcastic. For example, if someone asked you if you liked a really bad movie, you might say "Oh yeah, it was the best movie ever (with your tongue in your cheek)," which would mean you actually didn't like it at all.
