"Neener-neener" is a childish expression used as a retort or response to someone else's taunt. It is usually used when one does not have a more intelligent response to give. It is not really commonly used and is similar to sticking out your tongue. Ex: My lunch looks better than yours! Neener-neener! Ex: You're so slow. Neener-neener!
