(*excluding the words that begin with PH and have an F sound : pharmacy, phenol, photo) There is a silent P in pneumonia, ptomaine, pteradactyl, raspberry, receipt, and PS words such as psalm, psychology, and pseudonym.
From cockney rhyming slang/British origin Sticking out your tongue is not a raspberry. A raspberry is making a noise by vibrating your lips. Blowing a raspberry comes from the Cockney rhyming slang "raspberry tart" for "fart". Rhyming slang was particularly used in British comedy to refer to things that would be unacceptable to a polite audience.
