The structure is an onomatopoeic word that mimics the soft, quick sound of a tongue flicking out and retracting, short and playful. It is used to describe a brief action of an animal, usually a cat or dog, sticking its tongue out to lick its nose, mouth, or whiskers, often captured mid motion in photos or videos. People typically caption pet content with "mlem" to distinguish it from a static "blep" (tongue resting out) or a full lick.
