{{trope}}
This is the act of pulling down one lower eyelid and sticking out the tongue and saying "Beh-da!" (Japanese) or "Nyaaaah!" (English dub). A highly ritualized expression of disdain or disapproval, used exclusively by children and immature adults. Basically the same as the Western act of sticking out the tongue, cranked up a few notches, thought not as offensive as [[Flipping the Bird]].
In Japan this is referred to as ''akanbe'' (a corruption of ''akai me'', "red eye"), and it's called ''mon oeil'' ("my eye") in France and Quebec. This is in fact a Franco-Japanese cultural trope, but you'll see it everywhere in anime. Easily mistaken for the [[Eye Am Watching You]] gesture, but it's entirely unrelated. See also [[Blowing a Raspberry]].
