FIL: Isang mabilis at magaan na halik, karaniwang sa pisngi.
EN: peck, a light and quick kiss
This isn't a dramatic, movie-ending kiss. This is the quick 'beso-beso' your tita gives you, or the smack on the cheek from your lola. It's the G-rated, for-general-patronage version of a kiss. More of a 'hello/goodbye' than a 'hello, love of my life.'
From Spanish 'beso' (kiss), with a change in spelling and a more specific, diminutive meaning.
Less common in modern conversation compared to 'beso' or 'halik'.
