Line 9:
When a character kisses his own hand, it's a [[Kissing Warm Up]]. Contrast with [[I Kiss Your Foot]].
{{examples}}▼
▲{{examples}}
== Anime
* A non-romantic example occurs in ''[[Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle]]'' when Fay pledges to serve Sakura in Infinity country. Despite initially appearing romantic, the actual intent of this gesture is a lot darker: Fay's actually distancing himself from his [[True Companions]].
* Another non-romantic CLAMP example, Eriol kisses Sakura's hand (in ''[[Cardcaptor Sakura]]'') after helping her finish a teddy bear. Because Eriol is an English exchange student, this comes off as very chivalric and gentlemanlike—and pisses the ''hell'' out of Syaoran, [[Cannot Spit It Out|Sakura's would-be love interest]].
Line 38:

* Ollie Queen (Green Arrow) does it from time to time—but as he's basically [[Errol Flynn]] crossed with Abbie Hoffman, he pulls it off.
* Played with in the ''[[Lucky Luke]]'' album ''Calamity Jane'', where Jane must learn to behave like a lady, so she gets provided with a good-manners teacher. As soon she meets with him, she whacks him (off panel), and then explains: "This one wanted to lick my hand!"
** This was also done by Ellie May from ''[[The Beverly Hillbillies]]'', both in the show and in the movie.
* Subverted ''massively'' in the second ''[[Grendel]]'' comic book series, with Christine Spar as the title character. She meets Tujiro IVX, who takes her hand as if to kiss it, then extends a [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic|tongue]] to lick her palm. {{spoiler|He's a [[Our Vampires Are Different|Chinese Vampire]] and tracks his prey using a variation of clairvoyance based on taste.}}
* In a ''[[Peanuts]]'' strip, Frieda tells Linus that she thinks that his security blanket is a good idea. He's so grateful, that he kisses her hand. Frieda attributes this to her naturally curly hair.▼
* In a series of ''[[Calvin and Hobbes]]'' strips, Calvin loses Hobbes. When Susie finds him, Calvin kisses her hand out of gratitude, despite his firm belief that [[Girls Have Cooties]].▼
** And also to hide the fact that he's stealing her cookies.▼
* In ''[[Garfield]]'', Garfield refuses to do it for Arlene:▼
{{quote|'''Arlene:''' It is customary, in human circles, to kiss a lady's hand.▼
'''Garfield:''' You're not a human. And that's not a hand. That's a hairy paw. }}▼
== Fan Works ==
* In ''[[Kyon: Big Damn Hero]]'' Kyon, wearing a Victorian-style suit, plays along with Yuki's, wearing an [[Elegant Gothic Lolita]] outfit, offer of tea making this gesture. His lips don't actually touch Yuki's hand though.
* ''[[Midnight Green]]'': Zebra Mask kisses the hoof of, of all ponies, Pinkie Pie.
Line 119 ⟶ 113:
== Manhwa ==
* Dong-ha kisses Je-Hyang's in ''[[I'm At End of Your Sight]]'' hand after the latter calls him up after an argument.
== Music ==
Line 124 ⟶ 119:
* In the Love Story music video, "Romeo" kisses Taylor Swift's hand.
* In the music video "[[On Your Mark]]" (animated by [[Studio Ghibli]]), one of the soldiers kisses the angel's palm before she flies away.
