"German Kiss" . . . wha?

Although I suspect the cheesy joke is what was intended, a possibly early example of the phrase suggests it was a strong or forceful kiss; however, a more romantic version suggests chocolate. I hear that Germans do like their chocolate, and that is not a euphemism.

Germans are also fond of sausages. Just sayin.

chowder: applause.

Hmmmm . . . so it’s a kiss that makes your sausage go Achtung!

In the wurst way.

Hang on, I thought a ‘Sicilian kiss’ meant the mafia were going to kill you … :eek:

Hmm, maybe a double meaning. At least they’re kind enough to give you a shot of 1/2 amaretto and 1/2 Southern Comfort before your swim with the fishes.

The date’s tonight :smiley: . We’ll see!

And I wasn’t just looking for joke answers (although it was expected), she was genuinely curious.

Maybe the guy’s just German?

Well, he is and so is she, which is why it came up. But she said he sounded all sneaky when he said it.

Oh, og, save me now! Just when I decided not to go to sleep on the train tracks, I read this pun!

AAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH!
:slight_smile:

Miss Bellissima. I’m shocked. You have my AOL instant message name, you KNOW that I’m the Keeper of Perversions and you never asked ME!?!?!!

sigh
If I were to put a definition to a German Kiss, it’d be along the poo lines. I’d say it’s the pressing of the pucker to the nose or mouth followed by a nice and (hopefully) noisy poot.

Yes, everyone’s lives are now happier. Christ, sweetie. Come to me first next time. Don’t let this happen again, or you’re in for some SERIOUS Alcace-Lorraine kissing. (yes that’s both German AND French. do the math.)

You people watch too much South Park. Just because Cartman’s mother starred in German scheisse porn doesn’t mean it’s all about the poo… :smiley:

See below…

You do not have the authority to do that. Sorry, but it’s true. Here’s a term that has been used ad nauseum in the township where I work, yet count the number of hits it gets from Google. I’m sorry to be mean, but the truth is that if there were a good definition for “German kiss,” something would have been returned by google. But, an hour and a half of cyperslacking, along with eliminating one red-herring search term after another, yielded next to nothing. We’ve got the cheesy anti-Teutonite joke (hey, racism is racism…period), and we’ve got the definitions I’ve offered, one of which I boldly claim to be seminal—particularly because the OED doesn’t have anything in that entry.

So, I strongly suggest DiosaBellissima kick the suitor’s ass and inform him that the language is not his plaything. Or, if it’s the chocolate thing, shut up and cross your fingers. :slight_smile:

Let us know!!

She misheard - it’s a germaine kiss, one that’s relevant to the situation. Or possibly one like a rabble-rousing ratbag leftist feminist.

Now I can’t wait to hear what his explanation was. I guess his little scheme to build up anticipation before the date worked. :slight_smile:

So, it’s been a couple of days since the big date. Have you asked her yet?

We need to know what a German kiss is!

I’m curious too, but I have a hunch this guy is a just pretentious composer who just wants to show off his knowledge of a German sixth.

“Ratbag”? Germaine Greer is awesome.
