Duckface in German

In English, this is called duckface:

Ariana Grande looking over her
shoulder with her lips abnormally everted

In German, I've learned, it's Schlauchbootlippen.

Schlauch is “tube”. A Schlauchboot is a tube-boat — an inflatable rubber dingy. Schlauchbootlippen means dinghy-lips.
