It is the ability to speak to snakes. This ability is used as a plot element in the Harry Potter series by J. K Rowling.

In the Harry Potter series, it is a language that allows the speaker to converse with snakes.
Perhaps Samuel L. Jackson possesses that ability as well and will utilise it in "Snakes on a Plane", lol.

I take it you read Harry Potter. If you read a little closer it says that to be parseltong you can talk to snakes and they understand you. So when Harry sounded like he was edging the snake on he was actually trying to save the boy's skin. Happy Reading

According to the Harry Potter series of books by J.K. Rowling, "parseltongue" refers to the language skill a wizard might have to communicate with snakes. Strictly fictional.

it means that you can talk to snakes. Go read Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, or go watch the movie.

it means that you can talk to snakes according to the Harry Potter books. I have no idea if it has ever been used before harry potter to describe snake charmers or if JKR just made it up for her books
