Gag
A
gag is usually an item or device designed to prevent
speech, often as a restraint device to stop the subject from calling for help and keep its wearer quiet. This is usually done by blocking the
mouth, partially or completely, or attempting to prevent the
tongue,
lips, or
jaw from moving in the normal patterns of speech. They are often less effective in reality than in crime fiction. They carry a strong risk of killing the victim by suffocation. The more "effective" a gag appears to be, the more hazardous it is: for example,
duct tape is fairly effective but is hazardous if for some reason (e.g., the
common cold) the subject cannot breathe freely through the nose.
