Lip lesson

1) get in the way = disturb?
2) there's no connection = there's no link?
3) a dead fish kiss that's the real bummer = ?????
4) playshops =???

Context:

For Byrd, the answer is clear: A smooch. And with this gift, it's definitely the thought that counts.

"A lot of people say, 'Am I putting too much tongue? Is there too much nibbling? Is there too much mashing of lips? Well, all of those things can get in the way. More importantly what gets in the way is there's no connection. It's kind of a dead fish kiss that's the real bummer," she said.

Byrd, author of Kissing School: Seven Lessons on Love, Lips and Lifeforce, has instructed 400 couples in one-day "playshops." Her advice? Breathe, concentrate and engage "the electricity in your body."

Kisses can be that way, too. Yuck.

Hello Jobb

I don't see Casi on line, so will try to answer you myself:

1. Bummer – a disappointing or unpleasant experience or event.

2. Playshop – as opposed to 'workshop'.

A person can be like a 'dead fish', or a 'cold fish'; a handshake can be like a 'wet fish'; some people have 'fishy eyes'; a dubious situation can be 'fishy'; unpleasant smells are 'fi
