snog

snog
1) vb
to kiss ('snog up', used transitively, is a racier late 1980s version). This light-hearted word, used typically by children and adolescents, first appeared in Brit-ain before World War II. It is probably a variant of 'snug' and 'snuggle (up)'. In the 1950s, particularly in the USA, snog took on a more general sense of flirt. It retains its specific sense in Brit-ain.
► 'And I expect she's seen you walking out with Dolly Clackett, and snogging on the front porch.' (Hancock's Half-hour, BBC radio come-dy, May 1960)
2) n
British
a kissing session. (For the origin of the term, see the verb form.)
They were having a quick snog while the lights were out.
