Subject: Kiss and Ride



Although I got no kiss this morning when my wife dropped me off at work

(first time I have ever been dropped off), I was reminded of the drop-off

circles at subway stations in Washington, DC, which are called"Kiss and

Rides." Is that term used anywhere else? Can any beltway insider or

outsider confirm the spelling or the use of the phrase as a plural?
