To celebrate the last day of the month of love, let me present five words about a lip's more satisfying activities: Kissing.  After all, kissing is an integral part of our history and lives.  Louis Armstrong swore to build a dream on a kiss. Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons rocked the world with their sound and makeup in their band KISS.  The culmination of Judas' betrayal of Jesus was with a kiss.  Auguste Rodin's scupture Francesca da Ramini is more commonly known as The Kiss.  One of America's favorite chocolate is, yup, a Kiss.  And of course, in case we have forgotten, we've got the reminder to K.I.S.S. or Keep It Simple Simpleton (or something like that).


Today's word is...

Osculatory

Yes, it sounds rather antiseptic but it simply means "of or relating to kissing".
So when the Holidays rolls around (I know, good riddance, we just surfaced from one), and you find yourself and a special someone under a mistletoe, go ahead and perform the osculatory motion.

Forms:

The verb is osculate.
The noun is osculation.

Example:

"Cover your eyes, son.  You don't want to see this part of the movie."
"Why mom, is it gross and bloody."
"Worse, son, it's deeply osculatory."

Digression Point:
Hershey produces over 80 million kisses a day.
