Now Viewing: akanbe

Tag type: General

A Japanese facial gesture that consists of pulling an eyelid down (eyelid_pull) while sticking the tongue_out. It is sometimes accompanied by the sound べえだ (beeda, pronounced "behhh-dah"). This gesture is also done in France and Québec, where it is accompanied by saying "mon oeil" ("my eye").

The gist of the gesture is an infantile taunt - the Japanese equivalent of thumbing your nose at someone, or yelling "Nyah nyah nyah" or "Neener neener" or the like.
