neckers
Lovers stealing kisses
Neckers are people who engage in necking—kissing and caressing, especially in a prolonged or passionate way.
The term evokes mid-20th-century American culture, when necking in parked cars was a staple of teenage courtship: The park was full of young neckers after dark.
The word sounds dated now, as does the activity it describes.
