During an episode of Lizzi Mc Guire, my daughters and I saw a grandmother stick her tongue out at her grandchild. Where does that usage come from? And is it worldwide?

Answer
Some animals, such as reptiles, also stick out their tongues. It enlarges the face and can appear more threatening.
More about the tongue at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tongue#Secondary_uses
Of course there are more meanings, but that has to do with body language.
