When reading all your replys to the Sinister Questionnaire (fill it in now if you haven't already), I couldn't help noticing that a large number of you (2) seemed to get a bit confused over the word "snog" and what it means. I woke up at about 3am the other day thinking about this, and decided I'd better write a post to explain. A snog, you see, is one of the four basic types of kiss, which are as follows: 1) The Air Kiss This involves putting your chin vaguely over the other person's right shoulder, then their left, and saying "Mwah!" as you do. It tends to be done by posh people, especially those with more money than style. If you actually make skin-skin contact during this, it means you are a lesbian (girls) or a cad and a bounder (boys). This is the sort of kiss you give your granny if you are going to inherit a trust fund from her. 2) The Peck On The Cheek This involves touching their cheek with your pursed lips, but only briefly. Any more is rude. It's not very romantic, really. This is the sort of kiss you give your granny if you are an ordinary person who lives somewhere ordinary, like Grimsby, Thessalonika, or Newaygo (MI). 3) The Kiss On The Lips This kiss doesn't really have a name. It's just an ordinary type of kiss, where your lips touch together. If you are in arctic climates, be careful not to freeze yourselves together. This is the sort of kiss you give your granny if she lives somewhere a bit decadent, like San Francisco, Brighton, or 1890s Paris. 4) The Snog This involves your tongues, your whole face, and often your whole body too. It lasts at least half an hour, and leaves you feeling tingly all over, and slightly melted. This is the sort of kiss you give your granny if your granny is also your cousin.
