Kindergarten?! **KINDERGARTEN?!** Bill it was a fucking airport! You just started picking out kids from the security line! it was insane! They tased you *nine times* before giving up!
im also filipino from the visayas.. grandma also did this but its part of "gigil" .. grandma/aunties always said small kids have a certain smell and that why they love doing it that way. always hated it, feels too agressive .. i do have issues, like i dont want to be touched or hugged. hahaha i dont like doing it too.. always found kids to smell sour and sticky lol
Yes! I’m also Cambodian, my grandmother did this to my little baby cousins. It would be a face smash inhale, a hum, face smash inhale, hum, and repeat. As kids we’d always imitate it and she’d have a good laugh. I miss her.
I am also Cambodian but raised in the U.S. with no cultural upbringing here. I have two children and I kiss their cheeks with the whole bottom half of my face smooshed into their squishy cheeks over and over again. Just can’t get enough of someone you love. I think it’s also why people say, “I just want to eat you up!”
Stuff like this makes me wonder if certain social gestures we do come from a time long before written history and as certain groups of people emigrated all over the world they took said gestures with them.
Around 10% of the world doesn't kiss, meaning it's seemingly not instinctual/universal to all humans. Some theorize that the kiss is something that spread over the world. Seeing as kissing is so "basic" to our way of life, I found it hard to imagine a reality without.

My family is entirely Filipino and they do this as well! They even like to smell you for a bit bc it’s a way of showing their love / blessings. Basically this kiss but they inhale a lot more haha
I looked it up and apparently inhaling it part of it!
>[Among the Inuit, kunik is a form of expressing affection, usually between family members and loved ones, that involves pressing the nose and upper lip against the skin (commonly of the cheeks or forehead) and breathing in, causing the loved one's skin or hair to be suctioned against the nose and upper lip.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eskimo_kissing)
Makes me wonder if that custom is really, really old. Like I'm talking about the first Asians crossing the land bridge into the what is now the United States old.
That's the interesting thing about practices and customs like this. They can either last thousands of years if practiced, or they can die out in like 2 generations if people forget about them.
Its a common respectful greeting/sign of affection across the globe actually!
From the Kunik to the Hongi/Honi of the Polynesian people to the Hadag(?) of the Mongolian Nomads, there are tons of takes on the nose kissing/face smelling. Its wonderful and I wish signs of affection like this were more common. A handshake or kissing the air next to someones cheek just pales in comparison.
Not Vietnamese, but North-East Asian. Because of westernization the word "kiss" got kinda mixed up. While for younger generation "kiss" means just regular western kiss, for older generation "kiss" is actually similar to "kiss" in this video. My grandma used to "kiss" me in a head like this.
I'm also of this culture, but more in the centre of the northern part of Canada; and I could assure you that many of our Native woman up this way, Inuk or "Indian" has the same laugh.
I can read the whole thing in the “broken nose voice”. This goes on my list for one of my all time top favorite comments. u/aimlessfacade thank you. From the bottom of my heart. I wish I had more gifts to give you
I could tell based on the daughters' reaction to being Kunik-kissed like she clearly had been thousands of times before.
There's a lot of emotion behind the "like that". :)
They are! They're adorable together on Instagram and really love sharing their traditions and culture.
Edit to add the daughter's Insta: Shinanova and then you can find her mom through hers.
They are so adorable . “The more love you have for a person, the stronger you do it.” Their kunik clearly reveals their sweet relationship and deep bond.
My husband and I joke that it’s good that we’re both Leo star sign and we always are rubbing against each other like cats, our faces mush together because we get carried away with just kisses and we’re both just like, raaaaaah gimme your face that I might rub mine face on yours and we shall share face bacteriums and hair mites! We must rub together so much that we force-weld together and in a thousand years when they dig up our bones we will still be fused into a giant cuddle ball…..”
You did not create drama—you really didn’t. That’s why I wanted to make it clear I wasn’t attacking you. You did absolutely nothing wrong.
I see it a lot and I’m curious about why people clarify their sexuality since we’re all strangers and they’re never going to be admiring/meeting/flirting/sleeping with the subject at hand.
It’s curiosity for me in wanting to know why we, specifically in the heterosexual community, preface compliments with setting the record straight. No fight, no drama—just another day and another thought.
I'm also of this culture, but more in the centre of the northern part of Canada; and I could assure you that many of our Native woman up this way, Inuk or "Indian" has the same laugh.
Qanuingiitunga (All good)! I lost a lot of our language when I lived down south for over a decade.
Slowly but surely, illianqtunga (I'm learning/I'm a student)!
Ulluqatsiariit! (Have a good day)!
Quviana (awesome)! I'm from Iqaluit, born, raised, and live here (but lived down south for a while).
Relearning isn't nearly as difficult as I thought it would be, so I highly recommend it!
She might have an Instagram but she is probably one of the biggest if not THE biggest indigenous creator on tiktok. Her content is SO informative, and wonderful to indigenous teens trying to take back their culture
It was originally and is still used as a way to show love for one another especially when only one's nose and eyes are exposed (colder weather = more covered up, more often). very cool and you can read more about it [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eskimo_kissing?wprov=sfla1)
My 10yo son who has autism does this! He doesn't like regular hugs or kisses but he does exactly this, nobody taught him, he just started doing it and now we have a name for it! 😊
They are! Her tiktok is mostly educational content about first nations/ indigenous culture, her stuff is insanely informative and she and her mom have the sweetest relationship. They do throat-singing too. This video is shown prior, but the two of them recently got tunniit together which are Inuit tattoos. There is an entire indigenous community on tiktok that works to help the younger generation understand indigenous culture, and helps people growing up in indigenous communities understand and take pride in cultural traditions that in a lot of placed had been effectively stamped out by the US and Canadian government. She is probably one of the biggest indigenous creators on tiktok!
Mongolians do this as well. I’m not Mongolian but I lived there for a few years. I always feel so loved when my Mongolian friends, many of whom I look at like mother figures now, kiss me like this. I can’t wait to see them all again and sniff their cheeks. Such an simple yet intimate, loving greeting. Like hey, let me smell your scent because I love you and I love being in your presence so much… just gotta give ya a sniff.
Lol anyway, my partner and I do this sometimes now. Meep.
In the UK we used to call these an Eskimo kiss? Now, I am older and I know it’s not an Eskimo kiss that we were doing, it’s Māori……it’s a sign of respect. The nose rub is still a thing, just from a completely different culture
Edit: it’s still a “thing” in my family. It’s more intimate than a kiss so we do it quite often with each other. Maybe it’s been passed down through the Gypsy blood?……
A hongi is nose-to-nose, and if I remember correctly forehead-to-forehead, and it is very spiritual and respectful. It's not just a sweet show of love.

Here is a cute demonstration, with commentary:
https://www.youngoceanexplorers.com/yoe/video/847623727465#cplayer
Not really! The hongi involves gently placing the nose and forehead together and then exhaling in unison to share breath, the movement usually guided by placing your hand on their head. The guys in this video aren't really demonstrating a typical hongi but are having fun with it.
Love reading these!! My cat does it to us, he sorta yodels and launches his face directly into yours and then you gotta give him a bunch of good sniffs and nuzzling and super dramatic head kisses before he's happy.
Not in Alaska. I'm Inupiaq Eskimo. Eskimo is an exonym similar to "African" which is a Latin word. If you research the etymology of 'Africa' you'll find:
>This name seems to have originally referred to a native Libyan tribe, an ancestor of modern Berbers; see Terence for discussion. The name had usually been connected with the Phoenician word ʿafar meaning "dust",[35] but a 1981 hypothesis[36] has asserted that it stems from the Berber word ifri (plural ifran) meaning "cave", in reference to cave dwellers.
The true etymology of "Eskimo" is an Innu-aimun or Montagnais word meaning "netter of snow shoes". Look up the work of Smithsonian Linguist Ives Goddard. Eskimo "became a slur" when "well meaning" non natives told us that it was a slur, and made up a lie about it being related to eating raw meat. Certainly the term Eskimo has been abused and exploited by white people, but so has Inuit, so has Native, so has Black and African.
Imagine telling people that call themselves African that it is actually a slur and they shouldn't call themselves that. After all, they are likely not Afri, or cave dwellers, just as my people are not the snowshoe makers called ayaskimew.
Imagine the great emotional pain and inner turmoil that would cause. You yourself, wherever you are from, likely are called by an exonym. You are if you are American, or European, or Asian. Forcing people to change what they are comfortable calling themselves into a slur. It creates a painful identity crisis in a people already suffering from infinite generational trauma.
So now it is a catch 22. You should not call people Eskimo because the world has convinced natives and non natives alike that it is a slur and it will legitimately hurt those who are uninformed or just do not accept it as their own identity, but telling people that it is a slur also causes unspeakable harm.
e: I don't want to put anyone down who either was either uninformed or also those who are Native and still do not want to be called Eskimo. I'm sorry if I am harsh, it is just frustrating getting my perspective out. Sometimes I feel like giving up.
THANK YOU for taking the time to write this out.
I've seen an ever increasing deluge of self-congratulatory , ignorant people engaging in **performative wokeness** with such laziness and insincerity, that they end up insulting and demeaning the very peoples & cultures , who they pat themselves on the back for defending.
Ngl i didnt even know anything bout this kunik kiss or anything i just did that to my mom when i was 3 years old to 10 years old since she always show how energetic even when she is tired from work. Still love her the most (love you Mom ♥)
My grandmother does this "kiss" - she's Vietnamese. Wonder if it's the same?
Visayan (type of Filipino) here, my grandma would kiss me like this. Kisses all the little kids this way with an expressive sniff lol
We are also visayans and my nanay did this to all of us and we all called it sniffy kisses
sniffy kisses is the cutest thing i think ive ever heard
Oh so when a cute grandma sniffes kids it’s fine but when I do it I get thrown out of the kindergarten
Double standards smh
[удалено]
Bot
This is such a cute video! I love their bond! Southeast Asians also do this, I didn't know this was done in other parts of the world as well
Kindergarten?! **KINDERGARTEN?!** Bill it was a fucking airport! You just started picking out kids from the security line! it was insane! They tased you *nine times* before giving up!
Yes! I ventured into comments wondering if any Filipinos might comment - My grandmother would also kiss me like this (also Bisaya)
Same here. But my grandma was not from Visayas.
im also filipino from the visayas.. grandma also did this but its part of "gigil" .. grandma/aunties always said small kids have a certain smell and that why they love doing it that way. always hated it, feels too agressive .. i do have issues, like i dont want to be touched or hugged. hahaha i dont like doing it too.. always found kids to smell sour and sticky lol
same, but my aunt would do this though she's 80+ now
My grandma is also Visayan! she does the same.
I’m Cambodian and we kiss with our noses too. I think it’s common for Southeast Asians to kiss with nose.
Yes! I’m also Cambodian, my grandmother did this to my little baby cousins. It would be a face smash inhale, a hum, face smash inhale, hum, and repeat. As kids we’d always imitate it and she’d have a good laugh. I miss her.
Can I just say, I love your country. One of the most beautiful and fascinating places i've ever been to. Cambodians are lovely people.
You’re lovely people!
I am also Cambodian but raised in the U.S. with no cultural upbringing here. I have two children and I kiss their cheeks with the whole bottom half of my face smooshed into their squishy cheeks over and over again. Just can’t get enough of someone you love.

You read your own link wrong. It says 90% of the world does kiss
Haha, I meant 10%. Will edit. Thanks!
Yay! I’m Vietnamese as well and my mama does this too.
Lao here. My great aunt did this too, seems to be lost now tho after the older generation passed. We used to do it as kids as a joke.
Married into Lao family. My grandmother in law would always great us like this.
Yeeees, Vietnamese here, we all do it. It’s like strong sniff. No lips are involved 🤣
More like grandmother in Lao.
My family is entirely Filipino and they do this as well! They even like to smell you for a bit bc it’s a way of showing their love / blessings. Basically this kiss but they inhale a lot more haha

I can confirm this. As an Inuk, and as someone with a grandmother who loved all her grand children, this was very common and very much loved!
My mom kuniked me all the time. And I kunik my daughter all the time too 😁
Interesting! I wonder how this type of affection passed on through different parts of the world and it’s traditions. Very cool to see
Yeah, now I’m wondering if this form of kissing is an ancient tradition that existed prior to the Inuit ancestors’ crossing of the ice bridge.
Be wild if it was
They didn’t cross that ice bridge
Makes me wonder if that custom is really, really old. Like I'm talking about the first Asians crossing the land bridge into the what is now the United States old. That's the interesting thing about practices and customs like this. They can either last thousands of years if practiced, or they can die out in like 2 generations if people forget about them.
my younger sister just gave birth.. I can't wait to meet my nephew and kiss him this way as all aunties do with their little nieces and nephews.

Fascinating! They do the same thing in Brazil and call it “um cheiro”, a “smell” or a “sniff”
I’ve heard it is common in a few places across the globe!
Indian here, and my grandparents used to kiss similar as well.
That way everyone nose who the love and who loves them.
That's a bit on the nose.
Snot funny mate.
It boogers belief.
Smell ya later!
I thumb my nose at all these puns!
It’s neither funny snore is it cute.
Booger it, this thread has too many puns, im leaving
Ibtrucbtuns unblear, broke by dose

Pet the damn cat
Headbutt the damn cat
Fr my cat will bash his skull straight into mine so hard that I'm legitimately scared he's going to cause himself brain damage idk what to do
I can't handle this much wholesomeness!!!
My cat apparently understands Inuit culture better than me. Thanks for the kisses Buddy!
my goats have entered the chat
Voldemort actually loved someone so much he rubbed his nose off
Himself, it was a mirror.
Voldemort loving himself a little too hard against the Mirror of Erised is definitely something that exists on the internet somewhere.

@shinanova is where you can find her!
Agreed. Not to mention how beautiful they both are. And I’m a straight female.
For real I was just astonished about how beautiful they are
I did not mean to create drama. Just pointing out that they are beautiful people in a non sexual way.

Hey fellow inuk, I disagree with your username!
Taa, hai!! Qanuippi?
I’m doing good thanks!! Sadly I didn’t retain any Inuktitut as I grew up. 😭
Qanuingiitunga (All good)! I lost a lot of our language when I lived down south for over a decade. Slowly but surely, illianqtunga (I'm learning/I'm a student)! Ulluqatsiariit! (Have a good day)!

They are, popular on Instagram!
What’s their IG
It's @shinanova

Aaaw that's sooo cute!!!! I love the headdress.
Me too! Theyre so beautiful!
And both have beautiful friendly faces.
Mom probably made it, she made the daughters parka and it's gorgeous.
Do they have an Instagram?
She might have an Instagram but she is probably one of the biggest if not THE biggest indigenous creator on tiktok. Her content is SO informative, and wonderful to indigenous teens trying to take back their culture
What's her tiktok?
Shina Nova
The one on the left is @shinanova on insta
I checked out her instagram. Wow so much beauty! I really liked their throat singing.
yes the throat singing is haunting, beautiful, mesmerizing and I can't get enough of it.
Get ready cheeks, here I come.
Which cheeks?
All of them
Your mom's
Doesn't matter I'll be nose deep either way
It was originally and is still used as a way to show love for one another especially when only one's nose and eyes are exposed (colder weather = more covered up, more often). very cool and you can read more about it [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eskimo_kissing?wprov=sfla1)
I’d be rubbing my snot on everyone I love. Not really sure how many would hang around.
They'd be used to it!
Boogeys would be frozen!
This is great. Every Filipino grandma I've ever met does this. We call them "smelling kisses".
Yep. Made me smile.
My 10yo son who has autism does this! He doesn't like regular hugs or kisses but he does exactly this, nobody taught him, he just started doing it and now we have a name for it! 😊
Are they mother and daughter? Cause thier affection/love to each other is beatiful.
yes they are!
They are! Her tiktok is mostly educational content about first nations/ indigenous culture, her stuff is insanely informative and she and her mom have the sweetest relationship.

You break your nose when you really love them
Shina Nova is gorgeous 😍
She definitely is!
My viet grandma would do this a lot too, not sure if it was a cultural or regional thing
Mongolians do this as well. I’m not Mongolian but I lived there for a few years. I always feel so loved when my Mongolian friends, many of whom I look at like mother figures now, kiss me like this. I can’t wait to see them all again and sniff their cheeks. Such an simple yet intimate, loving greeting. Like hey, let me smell your scent because I love you and I love being in your presence so much… just gotta give ya a sniff. Lol anyway, my partner and I do this sometimes now. Meep.
Right on the money! With a little research, you’ll find that Eskimos share similar ancestry with the Mongolian people.
My 4 years old does that, on my t-shirt, with a running nose, ...
Oh that was painfully relatable
This made me smile and miss my mom
So sweet. Clearly a lot of love there!
Absolutely gorgeous representation of a beautiful tribe
The girl is genuinely rhe prettiest human I think I've ever seen. 💗
Some people are so insanely gorgeous Why is life so unfair and uneven
Sniffy kisses!
Yes they are mother and daughter i LOVE her tiktok so educational and adorable
This helped me feel happy.
I really miss my mom 🥺

Wait until you’re even older and find out that is very dissimilar to an actual Māori hongi.
Omg really??
A hongi is nose-to-nose, and if I remember correctly forehead-to-forehead, and it is very spiritual and respectful. It's not just a sweet show of love. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uwN3TcsLXsU
I know it’s more of a nose touch…….. fucking hell I feel like shooting myself now tbh……..how far from the “nose” am I?

They dress so pretty
We call those sniff kisses in Filipino circles.
Gorgeous teeth
What?
**GORGEOUS TEETH**
WHAT?!
# **GORGEOUS TEETH**
Yup
"the more love you have for a person the stronger you do it"
Similar to [Hongi](https://youtu.be/OTtG_J2_khI) in Māori culture
Not really! The hongi involves gently placing the nose and forehead together and then exhaling in unison to share breath, the movement usually guided by placing your hand on their head. The guys in this video aren't really demonstrating a typical hongi but are having fun with it.
[A hongi is far more serious though.](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uwN3TcsLXsU)
If only more people on the planet had a similar perspective of “oneness” that is represented in the hongi
At first I was skeptical about this belonging in this sub, but after I watched it, Inuit was true….
Nice. TIL.
I learned something new and awesome today!
Me on my way to headbutt my dog so hard it caves in my skull
I do that with Babies but thats just cause they smell so good.
I do this with my dogs everyday while I tell them what smelly boys they are.
Freakin’ adorable.
Instructions unclear. I'm now bleeding from my nose
IVE WANTED TO KNOW THIS SINCE I WAS 3!! Thank you so much. I hate how People twist the real culture to be their own.
Love reading these!! My cat does it to us, he sorta yodels and launches his face directly into yours and then you gotta give him a bunch of good sniffs and nuzzling and super dramatic head kisses before he's happy.
They are stunning. 💯
She's smoking hot
I didn’t know Wonder Woman was Inuit
Damn the left one is hot af
I want to find a woman that will do both those with that level of emotion.
I can't handle this much wholesomeness!!!

Yes the preferred term is Inuit for plural and Inuk for singular :)
Yes! That's the word we use :)
Ngl i didnt even know anything bout this kunik kiss or anything i just did that to my mom when i was 3 years old to 10 years old since she always show how energetic even when she is tired from work. Still love her the most (love you Mom ♥)
