"Kiss on the belly" - in standard German "Kuss auf den Bauch".

I wonder if it is a local custom, or a euphemism... :)

Actually, this is a phrase that we used a lot as a slang expression in
the 80ies, my teenage years. We used the Bavarian/Austrian form "Bussi
aufs Bauchi". It was an ironic way of saying "Thanks" or "Well done",
but also "don't be a whiner".

Ich war bis 1997 da und habe es nicht mitgekriegt. Ich vermute, daß das
nicht in allen Dialekten gut funktioniert, schon gar nicht im
Hochdeutschen.
