Best Answer

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.
