Kissing Frogs

I've remarked before (en passant) on the woeful inadequacy of the French language in the verb department. They've got some fine nouns, their adjectives are second to none - but when it comes to verbs, you all too often have to go round the houses just to describe the simplest action (appuyer sur le bouton, faire sonner le telephone, etc). Even so, I was startled to learn today that they don't even have a simple verb for what we Brits call 'French kissing'. You'd have thought they at least had that one covered - but no, only now has a verb finally made it over the threshold of the sacred temple that is the French language. It is - wait for it... 'galocher'. Which sounds more like a high-pressure mouthwash, or something a dentist might do to you. As I said, they're just no good at verbs, the French.
