A school's slogan

I have the idea of my English school slogan: "SHOW OFF YOUR TONGUE!"
Would it sound humorous enough and at the same time understandable in the context of language?
  

Top answer

I think it is too funny and too graphic. The sense of 'language' is lost. How about 'Flaunt your Fluency'?

Thanks for the reply. 'Flaunt your Fluency' sounds good.
I'm not sure "Flaunt" could be fast perceived by an average level learner.
Although if I don't find any other suitable variations, I'll use yours, if you only you allow.

Of course—but keep your eye open for a better idea. I'm not a marketeer.

Eugene ErmakovDon't zip it up!
This sounds very rude indeed—it seems to refer to one's trouser zipper.
Eugene ErmakovUnzip your lips!
This one is better, but may refer to revealing a secret.

How about going way back in history and borrowing a phrase?
"The sun never sets on an English-speaking country." I'm sure there isn't a patent on it.
