Tag Discussion: tongue_kiss vs. french_kiss

Going over some posts containing the two, tongue_kiss and french_kiss are just about the same thing. Hell, even tongue_kiss's wiki entry mentions french_kiss as an alternate name. But which of the two would be the more identifiable tag for most users in the case of an alias?

+1 french_kiss

forum #21755 too. Don't care personally.

I'd imagine french_kiss should be used, if it's widespread.

I prefer tongue_kiss. At least you don't have to be familiar with U.S. vernacular to know what it is.

Never heard of "tongue kiss", so +1 to "U.S. vernacular" apparently.

A tongue Kiss is when the tongue touch and a french is suppose to be deep kiss, right?

They're the same thing I believe Keo. Wikipedia redirects tongue kiss to French Kiss.

Anyways using wikipedia's page on the French Kiss I checked the linked pages in other languages. Using google's translation tools and the linked pages I came up with the list below.

• German: Tongue Kiss (notes French Kiss)
• France: Lovers Kiss (notes Tongue Kiss)
