A French kiss is a kiss, usually romantic or sexual, in which one participant's tongue touches the other's tongue and usually enters his or her mouth.
In many parts of the world, 'tongue kissing' as a public display of affection is discouraged and may even be regarded as taboo. The 1994 Chinese film Impetuous Fire caused controversy amongst some Chinese viewers for a kiss between Chinese-American actor Tim Chang and actress Sandy Wu.
Etymology of 'French kiss'The colloquial term, "French kissing", does not necessarily stem from France. In France, it is referred to as 'baiser amoureux' (love kiss) or 'baiser avec la langue' (kiss with the tongue), even if in past times it was also known as baiser florentin (Florentine kiss). In French slang, a "French kiss" is called a "patin" (ice skating shoe) or a "galoche". Doing a French kiss is referred to "rouler un patin" (roll a skate, as in ice skating shoe) or "rouler une pelle" (roll a shovel). The term 'French Kiss' is cited in Private Lindner’s letters: Censored and uncensored letters, anecdotes, sketches, a collection of items gathered during World War I and published in 1939
