Valentine’s Day: Make me immortal with a kiss
On Valentine’s Day, let’s look at some interesting facts about liplock and the most unforgettable kisses.
Cyssan. That was the Old English word for ‘kiss’ derived from Proto-Germanic
kussjan. The Old Saxon was
kussian, Old Norse
kessa, Old High German
kussen. No one cares for etymology but everyone wants to be made immortal with a kiss. But, be careful. Do not go kissing around. Look at the rule books. You cannot kiss on French railway stations. No, they were not being prudish. The railways’ guys just got tired of the delays caused by couples kissing long farewells on platforms. In Indiana, a man with a moustache is prohibited from habitually kissing human beings (can they kiss horses, then?). In Colorado’s Logan County, a man cannot kiss a woman while she is asleep; in Hartford (Connecticut), men are prohibited from kissing their wives on Sundays. Kissing can be a tricky lip service. Be careful.
