Something seen by
parents as shocking or bad. Like you've done something dirty, even though to you, it's something to take with you, to remember the love that just happened. Unlike a
tattoo, a hickey is something that
will go away but while there, on some level, you can't but wish it'll stay there forever.
"you
see that hickey I gave her? " "
yeah man,
I do," " I really love her, man, and I just wanted everyone to know it."
