A member asked:

Noticed today that i am able to pull one of tongue more forward than the other. notice at times when i move it back it sounds like it pops. no pain?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

I would stop: Without pain, it doesn't sound serious, but if it isn't causing any problems with eating, I would simply stop pulling on the tongue. If you're worried, see your primary care for an exam. Hope this helps!
