United Kingdom
In the UK, the term is used to imply either a curiosity, or a willingness to entertain for attention, or shock, in public. The implication is that the most intimate sexual behaviour involved is the swapping of lipstick during kissing. Girls and women in clubs will kiss other females, often for the first time or egged-on by their companions. The females involved will generally be heterosexual and will not often engage in behaviour beyond mild physical flirting. A related term is Lesbian Until Graduation (LUG).
The term was exemplified in the UK by footage of the 2003 MTV Awards publicity stunt by US pop singers Britney Spears, Madonna and Christina Aguilera.
