    Snog! That's a word that I absolutely despise. Where I grew up we called kissing shifting. Like for example 'they are shifting the face of each other'. It was never snogging. Snog - did others use this word in other parts of Ireland? I'm in the west, it was always shift. Snog sounds like its coming straight from american or english tv. When did snog creep into Irish vocabulary?

    The word snog just reminds me of a snorting pig for some reason

    I'd say kissed passionately more but Jeremy Kyle says that.

    That's it. It sounds like something a pig would do.

    Snog is a terrible word. Me and my girlfriend kiss all the time but no tongues. Neither of us really enjoy it and would prefer to be doing other things to each other.

    It can be a bit uncomfortable in isolated situations but I think it's pretty hilarious when an established couple start falling into each other regardless of circumstance, especially if they're a bit older. :)

    For some strange reason I felt bad when I realised myself and my OH don't kiss anymore. When we were younger we were always mauling each other but now we just don't maybe we're just getting old! I was never one for PDAs they actually turn my stomach. I think my New Years resolution shall be to get the shift everyday!

    Yeah 'shifting' is a newish enough term among the young people. I'm still a teenager but when I was growing up it was always scoring or meeting but when I turned about 17 I was introduced to the term shift and everyone seems to be using it now...still prefer scoring myself.

    Together 9 years on the 23rd of this month and I can't stop kissing her. If anything, I kiss her more now than I ever did.

    Why on earth would you not kiss the person you love!

    I can vouch for it being called shifting 20 years ago.

    Maybe in other parts of the country. I know a few people who grew up with the term. As a southerner I never heard of it until a few years ago. Scoring was always the common term. Of course with college, different counties integrating and everything if I say scoring they look at you in deep confusion...."sco-ring...scor-ing? What's that?"

    Not a new word. I'd say it's just a coming of age thing. Scoring sounds like something you do as a teenager behind the bike shed...shifting is the real deal. I'm surprised there isn't a new word for it though. I've heard of feaking but that seems to be limited to county Galway.

    It's the same for both the man and the woman. They both only initiate it during sex, this is the scenario amongst my group of friends.

    Perhaps the spark is gone then in all our relationships and we should break up as these doesn't seem like a good sign to me.

    Depends on how often you're having all this passionate kissing with sex, I'd say!

    Heard feaking in Waterford when I was a teenager. Not sure where that one came from :/

    By the way, it used to be 'meeting' in Dublin in the 90s, at least where I grew up.

    "Will you meet me mate?" Cringe. Lol.

    Yeah. When I first heard it I assumed it was getting the ride tbh. Shifting is pretty apt though with the sloppiness of nightclubs and casual drunkenness :pac:

    On the days he brushes his teeth we kiss away and when he eventually showers!! Oh what fun we have!

    He still hasn't, after ten years, copped that he gets kisses when he brushes his teeth. Feckin eedjit.

    Hey if you're happy OP then it shouldn't matter- but personally I'd hate if my OH didn't want to give me a proper kiss (I would also never say snog, bleugh). Kissing is brilliant, if you fancy someone enough to sleep with them, it's bizarre that you wouldn't want to give them the auld shift.

    Ah yes common in Cork also...a more polite way of f*ck if I recall correctly. Feek could also be a hot woman...wanna feek...up for the feek...is she feeking? (is she hot?)

    My girlfriend always kisses me when I brush my teeth, so I stopped brushing my teeth unless absolutely necessary. Feckin' eedjit hasn't copped it yet.
