kissing
Pressing lips together
Kissing is the act of pressing lips against someone or something, typically as a sign of affection, greeting, or desire.
A kissing cousin is a relative close enough to kiss in greeting—or loosely, anything closely related: The two languages are kissing cousins.
Kissing up to someone means flattering them for advantage.
