Vous avez une langue de vipère !

But here I can't see what huge difference more context would make.

Whether Vous avez une langue de vipère ! is said as an insult, ironically, as a plain statement of fact, with a negative or a positive connotation (yes, that could happen depending on the context), it wouldn't change the written translation (but might change the way it's spoken).

As for "helping fellow translators" ... you forget that you're also helping yourself. At the risk of stating the blindingly obvious, you won't improve your methods by translating tons of easy text - but but solving "hard cases". All that assuming you self-analyse how you translate ... or in plain-speak learn from own mistakes. I would rather spend my time on a tricky question by a troll than on an easy one by someone out of his/her depth. But that's only me ...

You are incredible Daryo.

You normally INSIST on context but for this series of questions, context has gone completely out of the window and no one knows if the "classic" English idiom is the best answer or an alternative idiom/phrase.
Also, some of us give our time to help fellow translators but do not want to be trolled, which is surely not the purpose of the forum?

"Of course the asker is trolling us!"
Maybe, maybe not.
One way or another it's a good question - the kind of question that seems "obvious" but in fact is far from "obvious" IOW worth asking, no matter who's asking.

..which ia why, as a non-translator, the only answer he could accept was from a fellow non-translator.

I reverse searched it and it is the logo of IPV6 Ready Logo Testing Lab, which appears to operate out of China, India, Korea, Taiwan and the US. I cannot see its relevance. Perhaps site management should check whether this is a genuine translator at all.

“Catty” and “sharp-tongued” come to mind.

I have the same impression
Either having a bit of fun or trolling us all
Asker has no bio or credentials, just a blank profile and lives in Pas-de-Calais region

I don't get it
This asker hardly ever gives context and many of his questions are just idioms. Others are just stuff you could look up in a dictionary like the "electric/petrol lawnmower.
Am I the only one who thinks the asker is just trolling the group?

"Viper" is the WRONG reptile" really??? " vipère" is what the ST says; " to US native speakers" ??? and implying I'm NOT a native speaker???Hahahahahaha!
"A viperish tongue" is in my opinion far more accurate than " serpent", which smacks more of Shakespeare's Anthony and Cleopatra. For the benefit of AMM, Shakespeare was a late 16th/early 17th century English playright, and Cleopatra was the eponymous heroine of the play, who poisoned herself by clasping a serpent to her bosom, which injected poison into her, and killed her.
