Blowing a raspberry

Blowing a raspberry is to make a noise similar to flatulence that may signify derision. It is made by placing the tongue between the lips and blowing.
A raspberry when used with the tongue is not used in any human language as a building block of words, apart from jocular exceptions such as the name of the comic-book character <a href="/facts/Joe_Btfsplk/AS4fzgnx">Joe Btfsplk</a>. However, the vaguely similar <a href="/facts/Bilabial_trill/bUPUMglp">bilabial trill</a> (essentially blowing a raspberry with one's lips) is a regular consonant sound in a few dozen languages scattered around the world. 
<a href="/facts/Spike_Jones/8Cwpf09j">Spike Jones</a> and His City Slickers used a "birdaphone" to create this sound on their recording of "<a href="/facts/Der_Fuehrer%2527s_Face/P2MczKQB">Der Fuehrer's Face</a>", repeatedly lambasting <a href="/facts/Adolf_Hitler/3zyXG1L8">Adolf Hitler</a> with: "We'll Heil! (Bronx cheer) Heil! (Bronx cheer) Right in Der Fuehrer's Face!"
In the terminology of <a href="/facts/Phonetics/ljAVT8fv">phonetics</a>, the raspberry has been described as a <a href="/facts/Voiceless/575TtTUn">voiceless</a> <a href="/facts/Linguolabial_consonant/N24pKXpB">linguolabial</a> <a href="/facts/Trill_consonant/GKS3ga4q">trill</a>, transcribed [r̼̊] in the <a href="/facts/International_Phonetic_Alphabet/2e7jmUaG">International Phonetic Alphabet</a>, and as a <a href="/facts/Buccal_speech/X9FAQLL5">buccal</a> interdental trill, transcribed [ↀ͡r̪͆] in the <a href="/facts/Extensions_to_the_International_Phonetic_Alphabet/LDcj1gPx">Extensions to the International Phonetic Alphabet</a>.
