kiss, peck, buss, smack, smooch Explanation: The plurals are: kisses, pecks, busses, smacks, and smooches. Please note that these are not perfect synonyms: "Kiss" is the most neutral, most widely used term. "Beck" is a brief casual kiss. The American Heritage Dictionary considers it informal. Webster's Dictionary is less certain about that. "Beck" also has other meanings not relevant to your question. "Smack" is kiss with a snappy sound. The sound itself, made with the lips, is also called a smack, even when no kiss in involved. Again, it has other meanings not relevant here. "Smooch" is somewhat slangish. I have heard it mostly used in reference to prolonged, romantic kissing. "Buss" is ultimately a French derivative. I believe all these nouns are also used as verbs. Considering how important kissing is as a social phenomenon, I am sure it is referred to in many other ways as well, but the aforementioned should suffice for now. Happy kissing. Fuad |
