Thanks, CJ.
When I say 'example' it's okay but 'examples' it's a bit difficult for me. I don't want to be misunderstood so I'll practice!!!

Hi,
does your tongue touches the bank behind your upper teeth?

Perhaps you are thinking of the idiom, 'Put your money where your mouth is'?

It sounds similar to exam-pulls.
