Cuando alguien tiene la lengua viperina, es porque habla mal de todos. Existe algo similar en inglés?

En inglés puedes usar "sharp tongue", por ejemplo, "he has a sharp tongue". No significa precisamente que habla mal de otros, sino que simplemente es una persona muy crítica. Entonces, creo que es similar, pero quizá no es la mejor traducción de "tener la lengua viperina".
