It makes me want to myself in the face with a rake whenever people write butterfly kisses light, fleeting kisses done with the lips. That's WRONG. Butterfly kisses are when a person's eyes flutter or brush against another person's skin.
Whenever I see someone write something like, "He trailed butterfly kisses down her back..." it makes me imagine someone rubbing their eyeballs all over someone's back.
A Guide To The Different Types of Kisses "To give someone a butterfly kiss, get close to them so the tips of your eyelashes are touching theirs. Then blink very fast so your eyelashes flutter together like butterfly wings. It's a fun, cute thing to do while you're catching your breath from more traditional kisses. You can also give someone a solo butterfly kiss by fluttering your eyelids against their cheek."
