My tongue is protractile. I'd stick it and prove it, but that'd be rude, so here's a tulip instead.
The term usually refers to body parts and simply means they can be extended or protruded. Another word for the same thing is protrusible.
Which do you like best - protractile or protrusible?

Patsy, I'm not even going to go there...
Personally, I'd use stick-out-able.
...have no idea why this reminds me of the meme...lizard with no tail.
Reptile dysfunction.
I prefer protractile. No, wait...maybe protrusible. Heck, I like them both.
I like the tulip best.
Well if I had to choose, it would be protractile. Not entirely sure why - but maybe because it sounds similar to 'tactile' which is quite a nice word. :)
Probably wise, Alex.
*groan*
That works too, Mac.
Hope you manage to use at least one of them, Linda.
It is pretty, Oscar.
Tactile is a nice word, Susan. It sounds quite appropriate for its meaning, I think.
