neener
Playground teasing sound
Neener is a taunting exclamation, typically repeated three times: Neener neener neener!
It's childish mockery—the verbal equivalent of sticking out your tongue.
Adults use it ironically or playfully to gloat over minor victories or tease friends: I got the last slice, neener neener.
