Blowing raspberries , strawberries or making a Bronx cheer , is making a sound that can denote criticism, real or fake. It can also be used in childhood phonemic games either solely by children or adults against a child to encourage imitation on the pleasure of both parties. This is made by placing the tongue between the lips and blowing to produce a sound similar to flatulence. In phonetic terminology, this sound can be described as a linguolabial trake that does not sound [r ??] . It has never been used in human language phonemically (for example, to be used as a building block of words), but this sound is widely used throughout human culture.
The nomenclature varies by country. In the United States, Bronx cheer is sometimes used; if not, in the USA and in other anglophone countries, it is known as raspberry , hoarse , or razz - It was first recorded in the year 1890.

Etymology
Blowing raspberries comes from Cockney's "raspberry tart" rhyme slang for "fart". Rhyming slang is mainly used in English comedy to refer to things that are not acceptable to the polite audience. The term "Bronx cheer" is sarcastic because it does not cheer; used to indicate disagreement. The term probably originates with the behavior of the crowd at the New York Yankee baseball team stadium located in the Bronx NY.
