| Summary: | bear n Ghost kiss (1925) Bear Hug it was called in 1950's. My mother called it a ghost kiss in 1925 when she was working in Dunohy's Store. It refers to a man who hasn't shaves that day or has a beard and he rubs his beard over a girl's face. Of course the man and woman put their arms a- round one another, at least in dad and mom's case. Dad used to say to me he was going to give mom a bear hug then he would put his arms around her and kiss her in the kitchen. Mom said there was one of her good male friends who used to give her a ghost kiss (bear hug) along with the other girl who worked in the store. Used I Not used Withdrawn |
