Meaning
To kiss thoroughly, emphatically or provocatively — 'out' intensifies 'kiss' the way it does in other Jamaican phrasal verbs, rather than meaning 'miss out' or 'be excluded'. On its own the two words are neutral; what follows decides everything. It is best known as the second word of the vulgar dismissal 'come kiss out mi bumbo' (kiss my backside) and, later, of Minister Marion Hall's gospel rework of that exact line, 'come kiss out mi Bible' — the same rhythm, aimed at a completely different target.
Examples
-
Dem seh kiss out, nuh light peck.
They mean kiss properly, not a light peck.
'Out' working as a plain intensifier, no insult attached.
-
Weh yuh a seh to mi — kiss out mi bumbo!
What did you just say to me — kiss my ass!
The vulgar sense, as in the full phrase 'come kiss out mi bumbo'. See Come Kiss Out Mi Bumbo.
Origin
'Kiss' plus the Jamaican intensifying particle 'out' (compare 'nyam out' — eat heartily, 'buss out' — burst out laughing). The construction became widely known through the vulgar insult 'come kiss out mi bumbo', and later through Minister Marion Hall's gospel rework of that same line into 'come kiss out mi Bible'.
How it’s used
Context decides the tone entirely — the same two words sit inside a crude insult, a flirtation, or, via Marion Hall's phrase, a public statement of faith. Neither reading is more 'correct' than the other; the object named after 'kiss out' is what carries the meaning.
