Licking Out / French Kissing.As a young and hopelessly naive teenager I'd heard many friends refer to 'Licking Out'. Having no idea what this referred to but assuming tongues where involved - I equated the phrase with 'French Kissing.'
Anyway months later my Dad took me and my little brother to pick up my older step-sister from the train station for her regular visit. As usual we immediately got chatting in the car on the way home.
"So!" she said "Who do you fancy at school then?"
Understandably curious, my Dad's ears pricked up as he drove us home.
"Well," I replied, "there's this girl in English called Sally... I'd lick her out."
The car swerved suddenly toward the pavement and then back again.
Pretending ignorance after a very long silence my sister then said:
"Have you seen Ghostbusters? It's great."
It was only years later this event came to make any sense to me.
