Often held but never touched, always wet but never rusts, often bites but seldom bit, to use me well you must have wit. What am I?
Common Wrong Answers
“A fish”
While a fish is often found in water and can be held (by catching it), it is not something that is 'never touched' in the same way a tongue is.
“A pencil”
A pencil can be held and used to write, but it does not fit the description of being 'always wet' or 'biting', making it an incorrect answer.
“A water bottle”
A water bottle can be held and may contain water (thus being 'wet'), but it does not have the ability to 'bite' or require 'wit' to use effectively.
