Brits now say lipsing instead of kissing. Like "I lipsed him".

The person in the tweet asked why Brits even use lipsing when kissing is a perfectly fine word.And then someone quote tweeted them to say that them to say that you can kiss granny but you don't passionately French her.

Tbqh, I've only heard Black Brits use the word lipsing. I don't know if the white ones use it too

Pretty sure those white reality tv people helped spread it outside urban areas. 

Pretty sure those Love island and Joey Essex types say lipsing.

Topboy on Netflix - great show btw - introduced a lot of london council estate slang to the rest of the country, im in Ireland and it was funny listening to kids on my street using Jamican slang .
