As a first aid instructor I had heard that the human adult tongue weighs about 2 to 3 pounds (weight of the tongue is brought up during choking discussions).

As with other organs in the human body, the tongue is mostly water. Many webpages agree on the weight figure, including this one, wow, word for word, even the question:
