Question

Why is making out called "french" kissing? did it orginiate in france??

Answer 1

Making out is NOT "French" kissing UNLESS you slip someone your tongue. It is a slang term as the French are known for constantly wagging their tongues.

Answer 2

its not french kissing makeing out is jest plain kissing and cuddling thats it.

Answer 3

Phrases which use national identifications are typically coined by persons from some other country and are meant to suggest some character flaw in a national rival.

Syphilis was once termed "The English Disease" and a cruel or stern person a "Dutch Uncle."

Using the tongue when kissing was regarded as scandalous at one time and therefore "French Kissing" just as condoms were once known (in England) as "French Letters."

Answer 4

There was a great rivalry between France and Great Britain for ever, so everything that was seen as sexual or disgusting was said to be from the other country. I am French and for us condoms are British: "capotes anglaises" whereas for the British it's a French invention: 'french condoms". Then Americans inherited all those sexual things as being French from the British, French kissing is the same thing.
