Vague: Never heard this description before, but nothing in health surprises me. If there is an issue where you cannot stick your tongue out very far, there could be a "tongue tied" situation caused by an unusually short, thick lingual frenulum, a membrane connecting the underside of the tongue to the floor of the mouth. If in doubt, see a dentist.
