Air kiss

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Blowing a kiss

An air kiss, blown kiss, or thrown kiss is a ritual or social gesture whose meaning is basically the same as that of many forms of kissing. The air kiss is a pretence of kissing: the lips are pursed as if kissing, but without actually touching the other person's body. Sometimes, the air kiss includes touching cheek-to-cheek. Also, the gesture may be accompanied by the mwah sound.[1] The onomatopoeic word mwah (i.e. "a representation of the sound of a kiss") has entered Webster's dictionary.[2]
