==Etymology==
The nomenclature varies by country. In most anglophone countries, it is known as a '''raspberry''', which is attested from at least 1890,<ref>{{OED|raspberry}}</ref> and which in the United States came to be abbreviated as '''razz''' by 1919.<ref>{{OED|razz}}</ref> In the United States it has also been called a '''Bronx cheer''' since at least the early 1920s.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/457777070|title=All Chicago backs up its footballers|last=Runyon|first=Damon|date=19 Oct 1921|work=San Francisco Examiner|access-date=18 Jun 2019|agency=Universal Syndicate|page=19|quote=....the East will grin and give Western football the jolly old Bronx cheer.}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/39276030|title=Wills looks like boob in Johnson bout|last=Farrell|first=Henry L.|date=30 Nov 1922|work=San Antonio Evening News|access-date=18 Jun 2019|agency=United Press|page=8|quote=While the crowd was giving vent to the 'Bronx cheer' and hurling garlands of raspberries from the gallery....}}</ref>

Blowing a "raspberry" derives from the [[Cockney rhyming slang]] "raspberry tart" for "fart".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/298362.html |title=Raspberry tart |publisher=Phrases.org.uk |access-date=2010-07-28}}</ref><ref>{{cite book | last=Bryson | first=Bill |author-link=Bill Bryson| title=The Mother Tongue: English & How It Got That Way | url=https://archive.org/details/mothertongueengl00brys | url-access=registration | publisher=[[Avon Books]] | year=1990 | edition=Trade printing, September 1991 | isbn=0-380-71543-0 | page=[https://archive.org/details/mothertongueengl00brys/page/238 238]}}</ref>
