Guest Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 I'm not aware of people using it as 'blowing a raspberry'. That would seem rather rude, and I will have to go back and re-read all those occasions when I thought the face looked like someone was really excited about something. If you're right, I will now know that people are actually saying 'yah, boo, sucks to you', which would put a very different angle on things. I still don't think the face looks like someone being rude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Well of course it's rude - but not in a nasty way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 Furry muff (as they say) I don't doubt it, I know 'razz' as both definitions, just in different contexts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Budgies Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 a-hem, back on topic to razz is to TEASE! Prefer most of the other definitions though.... Sue Budgie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheilaz Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 :lol:I'm glad you asked about Razz For over a year I used it as "Yay, Let's Party! How Exciting!" Excited can be a facial expression, and that's what I thought it was. I've no idea what the |BB text is that Grd refers to... Then, a few weeks ago, someone used it for sticking out tongue, & told me it was a raspberry blowing symbol. So, sorry about a year's worth of posts where I blew a raspberry but thought I was just excited! I prefer the latter definition, it's really useful, whereas the other one isn't.
