What can be the differences between the word 'snog' and 'smooch'?

[Fimbriae]

Could anyone in this forum let me know the differences between the word 'snog' and 'smooch'?

Hi Fimbriae

Both have been slang words in the past, although now fairly 'main stream'. Either can used as a verb or a noun. A snog is a kiss, probably intimate. Smooch is a little more, it may include cuddling, it may only be a cuddle. It also means a slow intimate dance and was a popular word with teenagers in the '60s.

....Come to think of it, both are popular with teenagers! :)

'Snog' is exclusively BrE, for what it's worth.

As I'm unfamiliar with its usage, I can't elaborate much on the differences, other than to point out it's purely a BrE term, where 'smooch' is used in the US.

A smooch can be anything from a quick peck, to extended lip lock, depending on context. And, of course, the amount of hormones present.

I like using "smooch" when referring to the sound made by my shoes when walking in slush. Is this acceptable? "Smooching sound".
