blep

Cat tongue protrusion

Blep is internet slang for when an animal, typically a cat, lets its tongue stick out slightly and absently.

The word is onomatopoeic, evoking the small, inadvertent protrusion: Look at that cat doing a blep.

Used as both noun and verb, it describes a specific expression distinct from deliberate licking or panting.
