| A little question from somebody abroad... This snogging kids keep doing at hogsworth... does it (in everyday language) include kissing only or something more? |

Wow, so slurping can be involved? That's an all out kiss. "Snogging" is one of those thing i would do in public let along at school...

Well, I checked Websters dictionary online and it wasn't even in there...
But yeah, google the word snog along with "british slang" and it'll tell ya, it means basically to "make-out."

hook up, as far as I've been able to tell, just means having a quick bit of intercourse, or maybe a one-night, heady make out session. I got the impression snogging was just kinda heavy kissing.

Hooked-up means different things in different parts of the country. Where I'm from it means making out, but I know a lot of people think it means sex.

Yes, and even then... my friends and I, in high school, used the term "hooking up" as just making out or maybe more, but NOT sex. And while my friends and I were casually talking about "hooking-up" (not with each other, just in general) this guy we were sort of friends with, but who hung out in a different group of people usually, was like, wait, what? Because in his group of friends they used the term "hooking up" as sex. And we all went to teh same high school. So it really depends.
And yes, Teddy was about 19 when he was snogging whats-her-name.

It sounds like what you would call the practice of two flobberworms mating. They're snogging.
Or maybe what you would call the action of a pig when it flops down in it's own poop and rolls around. "Get the buttermilk and a hose, the pig was snogging, again!"
It fits nicely with the way JKR describes Ron and Lavender snogging, she describes them as eels trashing about.

| I wish Rowling put a little translation section in the back of the book, so us american readers would now some of the vocabulary. While it wasn't hard to figure out what "snogging" was do to its context. I had no clue that a "bloke" was another way for saying a guy. |
