See? I Told You Learning Latin is Sexy!
Interesting article about kissing in today’s New York Times. Writer Joshua Foer notes that the ancient Romans distinguished among three kinds of kisses:
the friendly oscula, the loving basia and the passionate suavia.Another Latin kiss-word he didn’t mention: morsiuncula, a kind of kiss that involves “biting with the lips.” (This last word is a linguistic relative of the English term for that “bite” you might feel later if you're now regretting that kiss: remorse.)
