An
affectionate cheek to cheek contact. Pressed firmer than a
caress as it's wiped from one cheek to the other.
Most often used to feel the softness of a baby's cheek with one's own. Sometimes cats will foodge your
face while purring.
Usually, when foodging is between a man and a woman, some giggles are heard. At the very least it will produce a smile.
Coined by a Tony Gable while living in
Taranaki,
New Zealand.
