A Lengua e mime is a specific type of handmade dagger or long knife, distinct from a machete, traditionally used by Dominican peasants for both work and self-defense. They are usually around 12 inches long with a very thin blade and a sharp, tapered point. The name is a contraction of lengua de mime (gnat's tongue), comparing the narrow blade to the tongue of a mime (a species of tiny gnat or fruit fly common in the Dominican Republic).
1: That guy pulled out a Lengua e mime and stabbed him three times. 2: Watch out, that guy is looking for you with a Lengua e mime.
