Blowing a Raspberry
blowing a raspberry or strawberry or making a bronx cheer is to make a noise signifying derision, real or feigned. it is made by placing the tongue between the lips and blowing, making a sound redolent of flatulence. in the terminology of phonetics, this sound can be described as an unvoiced linguol-b–l trill . it is never used in human language phonemically (i.e., to be used as a building block of words), but it is widely used across human cultures.
nomenclature varies: in the united states, bronx cheer is sometimes used; otherwise, there and in other english-speaking countries, it is known as a raspberry, rasp or razz – the origin of which is an instance of rhyming slang, in which the non-rhyming part of a rhyming phrase is used as a synonym. in this case, “raspberry tart” rhymes with “fart”. it was first recorded in 1890.
a raspberry pattern or the raspberry pattern represents the form that the mouth takes as it produces a noise similar to that created by flatulence, similar to that of gas as it is p-ssed through the r-ct-m.
the term “bronx cheer” is used sarcastically because it is not a cheer; it is used to show disapproval. the term originated as a reference to the sound used by some spectators in yankee stadium, located in the bronx, new york city.
