Notes to answerer

Asker: Foi só isso que eu achei na rede, salty mouth como definição de problema estomacal. Mas será que isso é tão comum que um jornalista colocaria assim no texto? É sobre Scaturro sim.

Reference: Parece-me...

Reference information:
Se for sobre Pasquale Scaturro, parece-me que seja de fato uma gíria para "desbocado". Uma opção seria "língua ferina", expressão da qual gosto muito. Lendo o artigo do endereço http://outside.away.com/outside/destinations/200804/pasquale... penso que seja isso mesmo. Veja trecho: Serious money came knocking when an investment group asked if he was interested in looking for oil in Nigeria, Libya, and Kurdistan. "Kurdistan?" he snorted. "Don't you mean northern Iraq? In other words, you want me to work in the three most fucked-up places on the planet for two years?" Thanks, he said, but he had better things to do.
Bem desbocado, não? Ou com língua ferina, ou outro termo semelhante.
Tentando ajudar... :)

Desculpe-me, a vírgula ficou colada no anterior. Agora deve funcionar. (I hope!) :)
