>Je baise ma chien sur la boucheGoodness wow. You DO NOT want to be saying that. Baise means "make love to." "ma" may be feminine but "chien" is definitely masculine. Sister Ruth Marie would definitely not approve, in any sense of the phrase   Je donne un baiser sur la bouche de ma chienne. I give a kiss to my dog on its mouth. Je donne des baisers sur la bouche de ma chienne. I give kisses to my dog on its mouth.

Didn't "baiser" originally denote the act of kissing, though? i know that the contemporary French word for kissing is "embrasser", or has that one been rendered obsolete (or adopted a more prurient connotation) as well?

I'd read the other on a T-shirt and thought I'd gotten it right ... looks like the T-shirt writer and I both got it wrong. My goodness!!! I'm giving up on phrases in languages other than English unless I have an example in front of me to copy! {Covering face with cold cloth to subdue embarressed blushes} wow

As a noun it means A KISS. Usually people say Donner un baiser - give a kiss.
As a verb it means
a) the act of giving a kiss (dictionary definition only. NOT used by population at all)
b) the act of making love (originally classified as vulgar but now part of common speech and generally the only accepted definition).
Embrasser is definitely used to mean giving a kiss, it also means adopting something, someone or some idea wholeheartedly. I believe in France it also means a hug but is not used in this way at all in Québec.For some reason we do not have any word to specifically mean hug in French Québec.

Boy, and they say FRENCH lovers work quickly!
