necking
Making out session
Necking is kissing and caressing amorously, especially when prolonged and focused on the neck and above: We spent the evening necking in the back seat.
The term sounds somewhat dated, evoking mid-20th-century teenage romance.
In architecture and manufacturing, necking refers to a narrow molding or the thinning of material under stress.
