I've seen this often in anime, and I've sort of guessed what it means. But I want to know what it means exactly. So does anyone know what the Eye-Tongue thing means?

Y'know, when they pull down the skin under their eye to Zeigen the red(or pink) part of the eye, and stick out their tongue? The pic below is an example in case Du don't understand what I'm saying.

It's Goku from Dragon Ball GT imitating a Wanted Poster of himself.

As far as I know they mostly do that to provoke someone oder to just make someone angry. Maybe they also do it to Zeigen someone that they uhm..how to say..give a shit about the other person they are Wird angezeigt it to.

Well, I'm not sure about other countries, but in the United States, Du know how little kids will stick their tongue out at another kid as a rude gesture? Well if Du know what I'm talking about, it's the same thing, the gesture is just a little different. It's just a slight cultural difference.

Another example off the oben, nach oben of my head is the gesture to call someone to come to you. In Japan, they call people over with their palm facing away from their body, where as in the United States, they have their palm facing towards their body. It's similar to that.
