- A quick, innocent kiss. A peck. A child like term used by/for children in the Southern United States. (More common in countryside-raised, 'older' southern families) > My mother had me trained to tell relatives I'd trade them 'A kiss for a yankee dime'. Afterwards, I would demand a yankee dime, and they would all laugh at my ignorance.
