Kiss (v.) 'kis 1. To touch with the lips especially as a mark of affection or greeting

Remember how, in high school, kissing was still an event?

You could go to a movie (which was really, you both knew, just an excuse to sit together in a dark room for a couple of hours and think about kissing). You could come over to his house to watch a movie (which was really, you both knew, just an excuse to sit together in a dark room for a couple of hours and kiss). You could go to a party (which was just an excuse to kiss in front of other people). You could drive (which meant, pretty much, just park somewhere and kiss). Or you could walk (stroll, think about kissing, find yourself up against a wall or a tree somewhere, kissing).

Kissing is an event again. On par with The Superbowl.
