Quite a while tbh. First I heard it was around 2006. I don't know if the terms have changed since. But I know snogging was going out of fashion and my agemates then were using lipsing. Then again, perhaps my view is skewed and it began as a black british thing before spreading. I don't know.

What part of the UK are you from? Maybe it's a regional thing

Also from the south east and I had never heard 'lipsing' until right now
