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."
