Wikipedia
Making out is a term of American origin, dating back to at least 1949, and is used variously to refer to kissing, petting, and necking, but may also refer to non-penetrative sex acts such as heavy petting. Snogging is a term with roughly the same meaning in British English and some related varieties of English, except in Hiberno-English (spoken in Ireland), where it is more commonly known as shifting.
Making Out is a British television series, shown by the BBC between 1989 and 1991.
The series, created by Franc Roddam, creator of Auf Wiedersehen, Pet and Masterchef, and written by Debbie Horsfield, mixed comedy and drama in its portrayal of the women who worked on the factory floor at New Lyne Electronics in Manchester, tackling the personal lives of the characters as well as wider issues of recession, redundancy and retrenchment as the factory goes through various crises and takeovers.
The music for the series was composed by New Order ( The Other Two in final episodes). The main theme for the show is an adaptation of the song "Vanishing Point". There is a specific mix of this song called the Making Out Mix.
Making Out is a series of young adult novels by authors K. A. Applegate and Michael Grant. The series was formerly known as "Boyfriends/Girlfriends" and the first eight books were republished in 2015 as The Islanders. The books were based on the lives of teenagers living on an island called Chatham Island off the coast of Maine. The main characters were Zoey Passmore and her brother Benjamin, Claire Geiger and her sister Nina, Jake McRoyan, Lucas Cabral, and Aisha Gray. Later in the series, new characters were introduced.
The books dealt with several difficult topics (such as the death of a parent, molestation, divorce, disability, drugs, and alcohol) and followed the effect of these issues on the character's lives.
The books followed the group of teenagers from their senior year in high school to life in college.
Making out refers to various casual sexual behaviors including kissing and petting.

"Making Out" is a song written by Gwen Stefani, Tony Kanal, and Tom Dumont for No Doubt's fourth studio album Rock Steady (2001). The song was produced by electronica musician, William Orbit and by No Doubt.
After initially being released as Rock Steady's fourth and final single, Interscope Records instead released the track as a promotional single a year after the album's release in 2001 in favor of " Running". It was released as a promotional single in The Philippines. Despite being released as a promo single, the song was never performed live and was excluded from their 2002 world tour, Rock Steady Tour.
