Today Is 'Stick Out Your Tongue Day': Is Sticking Your Tongue Out Funny or Rude?

So as stated in the title, Today Is 'Stick Out Your Tongue Day'

Is Sticking Your Tongue Out Funny or Rude?

Neither, in my opinion. It just seems childish to me.

Sticking one's tongue out is indeed childish, but sometimes I do it as a joke to my mother when I intentionally piss her off about something, but she doesn't get upset :P

i…don't get it tbh

so neither.

If you want to be funny, tell a joke.

If you want to be rude, tell them about your…flip them off, actually.

It depends if you have bad breath or thrush on your tongue or not. :p

Wow, you guys make me feel weird.

Imo, sticking out your tongue is funny and playful. A little childish? Perhaps. I do it all the time though, as a joke. =D

i stick out my tongue sometimes, but just the tip. usually to indicate relaxed-ness. sometimes i do it to my friend when we're not talking.

I stick out my tongue a lot for fun/playful reasons or just as a "lol you" kind of thing or "lol that's silly", so I don't think it's rude at all and I wasn't aware anyone did haha. I just find it to be a cheeky fun gesture and nothing more!

I love nothing more than people sticking their tongue out in my vicinity.

I find it meaningless; just something mammals do to wet their noses.

It's more childish than anything. :< I definitely don't think that gesture is very rude nor is it funny at all.

I'm with Alex. I stick my tongue out at co-workers (who I consider "close") all the time at work. I'll get the odd, "Respect your elders" comment but they're joshing me, too.

I wouldn't recommend just sticking your tongue out at just anyone, though. Around here it is considered rude.

It's funny around friends, it's rude to anyone else...at least for me. xD If someone out of random sticks a tongue out at me I'd beat the crap out of them instantly.

I think it is a bit childish thing to do,
so if you do it I will think you are not mature for you age. ( unless you have a special need and can not help it).

It may seem pretty childish when done in front of strangers, sure. I wouldn't really care if someone were to do it to me, though. I'd find it quite amusing xD

I tend to do it to my friends, family, colleagues - and they do the same :3

It may seem childish and/or rude if you do it among strangers. If you're around people who you are very comfortable with then they would pass it along as a joke and laugh at you.

I also agree with this:

it's childish, unless you're just trying to be silly lol.

I do it from time to time jokingly with my friends. I don't see how its rude unless you do it to like a total stranger, lol. Childish? So what. I don't see any harm in it n_n

Damn. Some of you have really warped definition of the word childish.

I don't think its funny or rude. Or childish, for that matter. I don't really think much from it other than someone is joking around?? Oh, and also some people look really cute when they stick out their tongues while others look fugly.

It seems immature, but I wouldn't call it rude.
