Answer 2

The tongue usually rests on the floor of the mouth and the spot under the tongue remains relatively close to body (blood)temperature. Other oral areas are cooled by the air we breathe or while talking (to the doctor or nurse?) especially due to evaporation. Lick your wrist then blow on it then your dry wrist. Using a "hot spot" in the mouth to take your temperature will take the least time (to heat up the thermometer) and give the most accurate measurement needed for proper diagnosis.

Answer 3

Plus I'm under the impression that if you put it on top of your tongue, air that you breathe through your nose that goes into the trachea also goes by the very back of your mouth.
In most cases this amount of air would be different from your body temperature and thus give an inaccurate temperature.
