    What is a raspberry sound?

    Question #111909. Asked by author. (Jan 04 10 10:49 PM)

    Blowing a raspberry or strawberry or making a Bronx cheer is to make a noise signifying derision (and/or silliness), made by sticking out the tongue between the lips and blowing to make a sound reminiscent of flatulence. In the terminology of phonetics, this sound can be described as an unvoiced linguolabial trill [r̼̊]. 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.

    This is a good question. I believe it is called onomatophia? I'm sure I have misspelled that. Anyway, it is a sound that requires a person to...... boy, how does that work? You know, a speech therapist could answer this in a heartbeat. O.K. This is easy. It is simply a matter of placing your tonue out of your mouth and between your teeth. How funny is this question? What a hillarious question! I mean, everyone can DO it, but it is really hard to explain. SOOOO...... Let us break it down into steps. I'll give a step and then you will give a step. Fair?
