Etymology
The term 'snog' is believed to have originated in the UK during the 20th century, specifically around the 1960s or 1970s. It is thought to be a playful and informal way to describe kissing, likely deriving from the rhyming slang often used in British English. The word's usage has since expanded to encompass a broader sense of romantic affection, often associated with youthful passion. By the late 20th century, 'snogging' became a common term in British pop culture, frequently appearing in music, literature, and media, reinforcing its place in informal lexicon. The playful nature of the term makes it popular among younger generations, especially in social settings and conversations about dating and relationships.
