Funny how that works, right? See, being a dyed-in-the-wool Anglophile, I actually do know that snogging is in fact a rather low, crass word. Over here, we use smooching similarly, although the expression to use if you want to gross people out is 'tonsil hockey'. That usually gets around the same level of 'ick' factor. However, as most (but not all) of us who have been exchanging the word in the last few days are all North American, oddly enough, we find 'snogging' to be quaint and charming.

S'a funny ol' world, innit?
