tongue out
Licking the air
Tongue out describes the position of extending one's tongue past the lips.
It appears in descriptions of physical states—panting dogs, concentrating children, exhausted runners.
The phrase also names a playful or mocking gesture: She stuck her tongue out at him.
In emoji culture and selfies, tongue out signals silliness, flirtation, or irreverence.
