    “A case of importation from the ancient world was found in the motto of one family, Non bos in lingua. This literally means “No bull on the tongue.” However, in the light of classical history, it does not appear to be a stout denial by one accused of exaggeration in speech. The Greek coin, the drachma, bore the insignia of a bull, from which the term came to symbolize money generally; hence, non bos in lingua is judged to mean a tongue that cannot be bought.”
