limonare
to make out, to kiss passionately
Pronunciation
/li.mo.ˈna.re/
Cultural Note
Classic Italian slang for passionate kissing or making out. The connection to 'limone' (lemon) likely comes from the squeezing motion. Very common among young Italians. A 'limonata' in slang doesn't mean lemonade — it means a make-out session. Informal but not vulgar.
