To stick out the tongue. Figuratively, in literary usage: to speak ill; to sneer (originally: bark, protrude the tongue).

What day is different from other days?'" — Shaul Tchernichovsky, "Lebivot"; and also: "Do you know Vina, and if you know, do you know among Jewish women that the Gentiles sharpen their tongues against them" — Agnon, "The Doctor and His Divorced Wife"; and also: "From darkness until the calling of the man / in the stars and also in the constellations / in the morning and evening newspapers / we sharpen tongues and fates" — Naomi Shemer, "The Witches").
