sucking face

Making out sloppily

Sucking face is a slang expression for kissing, especially the prolonged, passionate kind that involves open mouths and tongue contact.

The term is deliberately crude and humorous, often used by teenagers or to describe teenage behavior.

We caught them sucking face in the back of the car.

It emphasizes the physical, almost comically vigorous nature of making out rather than any romantic dimension.
