What is "Shot Lashon"?
1.
Ibn Ezra #1: Leshon ha'Ra is like a Shot (whip).
2.
Ibn Ezra #2: Lashon is a nation, like Leshonos ha'Goyim. Shot is [roaming,] like "Shotetu b'Chutzos Yerushalayim." When a nation roams in your land, you will hide.
3.
Malbim: Sometimes Leshon ha'Ra rules over you - you are slandered to the king and officers, and you are incarcerated. This benefits you - you will hide and not fear plunderers who come!
