What is it?

Tommy from Glasgow used this figure of speech at about 2 hrs 5 mins into tonight's show (7/25). To be honest, I had trouble following what he was saying so I should probably give it another listen. He usually talks sense (as far as *I* can tell). Very Happy

hmmm. Urban Dictionary says this:

Quote:

A headbutt. Within Glasgow itself the term 'Gorbals kiss' is often used, referring to the most dangerous area of Glasgow. It is hypothesised that within Gorbals it is known as a Crown Street kiss; and on Crown Street it is called a Number 73 kiss; and at Number 73 it is known as Steve's kiss. Steve, however, calls it whatever the fuck he wants to.

Love ain't like the movies
it blisters and bruises
and knocks you about with its fists
It Leaves you a wreckage
all postaged and packaged
and sealed with a Glasgow kiss

the action is usually preceded by words such as 'who yu talkin tae ya bawbag?', or 'Whit yu lukin at?'. It's a cultural phenomenon! haha
