Usage notes
- The connection between the literal meaning of the phrase, "black kiss", and the vulgar meaning is generally understood to be a direct, albeit crude, reference to the anatomical location involved in the sexual act. The "black" part refers to the color of the anus or feces, and the "kiss" refers to the oral contact.
