| Kiss Up the Arm | comment |
A comedy/romance trope in which a guy starts by kissing a woman's hand and works his way up her arm to her neck. Usually used to identify the man as either The Casanova or a pervert. Mostly a Dead Horse Trope nowadays, but can be found in many older works (particularly animated shorts). Common reactions are shyness and stuttering, swooning, or slapping. |

In a production of A Midsummer Night's Dream the two male leads (under the influence of a love spell) both grab one of Helena's hands and kiss it. They try to one-up each other by kissing up her arm, and it finished with one of them sniffing her hair. Needless to say, Helena is not amused. | |

In the Tex Avery MGM Short Little 'Tinker, BO Skunk thinks he's kissing the arm of a female rabbit he's trying to woo, but she runs off because of his smell before he reaches her with his eyes closed, and he unknowingly ends up kissing along a tree branch before kissing an owl that was perched at the top on the beak, who promptly passes out. | |
