liplock
Mouth-to-mouth contact
A liplock is a prolonged kiss, especially one where mouths stay pressed together: The couple was caught in a liplock outside the restaurant.
The word suggests intensity or duration—a quick peck wouldn't qualify.
Often used by tabloids and gossip coverage describing celebrity public displays of affection.
