Tongue Sticking

There is a three lane road near my home that T-intersects at a traffic light. One lane is right-turn only and the other is left-turn only. Motorists, such as myself, are constantly driving in the opposite lane in which they need to be in to turn so that they can pass other motorists in their required lane. Such an incident occurred this morning as I, in a rare moment of civility, raced up the right lane with all intention of turning right upon reaching the stoplight. A fellow mortorist was driving in my blindspot in the left lane and I had an inkling he might try to cut me off. Sure enough as we approached the light he sped up and attempted to cut me off. My superior driving skill and killer instinct had positioned my automobile in such a way as to prevent his transference into the lane in front of me. Upon passing him I looked pointedly out my window as he assumed the position to fall in line....

To my astonishment this little 70 year old man actually stuck his tongue out at me! I was so stunned I couldn't help but smile! Most adults would just flick you off or honk right? This guy sticks his tongue out?! It was too much!

Incidentally, there must be a word that means "to stick your tongue out at someone" but I don't haven't the slightest what that might be.
