air kiss
The air kiss is a ritual or social gesture whose meaning is basically the same as that of many forms of kissing. The air kiss is a pretence of kissing: the lips are pursed as if kissing, but without actually touching the other person's body. Sometimes, the air kiss includes touching cheek-to-cheek. Also, the gesture may be accompanied by the ''mwah'' sound.〔("MWAH" ), the BBC programme ''Keep Your English up to Date''〕 The onomatopoeic word ''mwah'' has entered Webster's dictionary.〔("Mwah ) in ''Webster's New Millennium Dictionary of English''〕
== Western culture ==
A symbolic kiss is frequent in Western cultures. A kiss can be "blown" to another by kissing the fingertips and then blowing the fingertips, pointing them in the direction of the recipient. This is used to convey affection, usually when parting or when the partners are physically distant but can view each other. Blown kisses are also used when a person wishes to convey affection to a large crowd or audience. The term ''flying kiss'' is used in India to describe a blown kiss.
