Etymology

The word 'snog' originated in British slang and is believed to have emerged in the early 20th century. Its exact etymology is uncertain, but it is thought to derive from a combination of the word 'snogging,' meaning to kiss or caress affectionately, and 'to snog' used playfully in the context of romance. The term gained popularity in the 1980s and 1990s, particularly among youth culture, as a way to refer to passionate kissing or making out. Its playful connotation has allowed it to remain an informal term for affectionate kissing in British English, while it may not be as commonly used in other English-speaking regions.
