What's a "Bronx Cheer" and on what occasions should it be used?

Answer 1

Stick your tongue through your lips and blow through your closed mouth. A gentleman would never use the Bronx cheer. Boors would use it to express a lack of respect for something just said or done by someone.

Answer 2

NOUN: Slang. Any of various derisive sounds of disapproval: boo, catcall, hiss, hoot. Slang : bird, raspberry, razz. See SOUNDS.

Blowing a raspberry or making a Bronx cheer is to make a noise made to signify derision, made by sticking out the tongue between the lips and blowing to make a sound reminiscent of flatulence. In the terminology of phonetics, this sound does not appear to have an official name, but might be characterized as a labiolingual trill.

Nomenclature varies: in the US, Bronx cheer is sometimes used; otherwise, in the US and in other English speaking countries, it is known as a raspberry, rasp or razz — the origin of which is an instance of Cockney rhyming slang, where the non-rhyming part of a rhyming phrase is used as a synonym. In this case, "raspberry tart" rhymes with "fart", and is first recorded in 1890 [1].

The term "Bronx Cheer" can also be used to indicate a sarcastic cheer, generally done during baseball games whenever an out is made after a pitcher (or pitchers) for the home team gives up many runs before finally recording an out. It's also been used in hockey games when a goaltender makes a relatively easy save after allowing numerous goals or giving up a "soft" goal.(wikipedia)
