Missing person report……..It refers to someone who isn’t talking, particularly if they don’t respond to a question. This idiom possibly dates to ancient Egypt, where punishment for a crime meant your tongue would be cut out and fed to a cat, and the Middle Ages, when a witch’s cat would steal or paralyze your tongue so that you couldn’t speak.
