French Kissing Techniques
French Kiss - How to French Kiss
A French kiss, tongue kiss, pash, hooking up, mugging it up, making-out, necking, getting into, snog, slipping the toungue, popping tongue, sucking face, or deep kissing, getting off with sometimes known as pulling is a passionate romantic or sexual kiss in which one participant's tongue touches the other's tongue and usually enters his/her mouth.
Although family members may sometimes kiss on the lips, a kiss using the tongue almost always indicates a romantic relationship. French kissing stimulates the lips, tongue and mouth, which are all areas very sensitive to touch. It is considered by many to be both very pleasurable and highly intimate. Unlike other forms of "casual" kissing (such as brief kisses of greeting or friendship), episodes of French kissing will often be prolonged, intense, and passionate. Studying animal behavior, Thierry LodéThierry Lodé La guerre des sexes ches les animaux, 2006 Eds Odile Jacob, Paris, ISBN 2-7381-1901-8, an evolutionary biologist, argues that the French kiss has a real function: to explore the sexual partner's immune system via the saliva. Initiating the sexual desire, the French kiss allows the partners to avoid inbreeding (see also sexual conflict).
Because of the intimacy associated with it, in many regions of the world tongue kissing in public is not acceptable to most, particularly for an extended time.
In a tongue kiss participants exchange saliva. Although most sexually transmitted diseases are not transmitted by kissing, the exchange of saliva in a French kiss may increase the chances of catching an orally transmitted disease. Infectious mononucleosis (American: Mononucleosis or, colloquially, "mono"; European: glandular fever), a disease spread through saliva, is colloquially referred to as "the kissing disease".
A French kiss is often used by lovers to express their intimate feelings toward each other, whether in passing or as a prelude to sexual intercourse (as a part of foreplay). French kissing also occurs frequently throughout actual intercourse. A French kiss is thus a highly intimate affair, and in a manner of speaking symbolizes a side of the physical love one has for the other. In essence it can also be called a passionate or loving kiss.

French Fries
French fries (North American English; sometimes not capitalizedMerriam-Webster Online Dictionary), chips (British English), fries,The American Heritage Dictionary, Fourth Edition, 2000 or French-fried potatoes (formal) are pieces of potato that have been deep-fried. A distinction is sometimes made between fries and chips, whereby North Americans refer to any pieces of fried potatoes as fries, while in the UK, long thin strips of potatoes are sometimes called fries to contrast them with the thickly cut strips, which are always referred to as chips. French fries are known as pommes frites in large parts of Europe (i.e. Germany, France, Sweden etc).
