Give me your colloquialisms for kissing, i wonder is there much regional slang.

I just remembered 'the shift' - used in Dublin, does anyone still say that??

Or 'wearing' was another one. 'He was wearing the face off her in front of the school'!!

Sucking the face off her.

The shift is used nearly everywhere.

A friend of mine years ago asked a girl “ do you want to be buried with my people” he got some look that night in his d*unk state ... then again the line was a dare lol

Probably Coppers!

It was always the shift down our way and would just mean kissing but friends of ours from Donegal would say the shift was kissing and dropping the hand. So check your Google map location before agreeing to the shift!
