Definitions for some of the New slang....?

Okay, maybe I'm dating myself here, but I need a couple of definitions for some new slang I've been seeing on the Internet. I need to know in order to better understand and answer some of the questions. (Okay, yeah, I guess I'm mainly curious, too!) Okay, here goes:

1) What, or who is an "emo" ?

2) I never heard of this one until a couple of days ago, then suddenly it appeared 3 times in one day!--what does it mean when someone says they want to "snog" someone? (Is it what we used to call "make out" or something similar?)

Any knowledgeable help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    Emo is the word to describe a teenager who wears the black hair, black clothes, and cuts theirself. It is short for the word "emotional." It's quite ridiculous if you ask me, because I'm a teenager, and let me tell you, it's not as bad as they play it off to be.

    "Snog" means to make out, kiss, whatever. It's a British term.

    you're welcome!

    Here are the answers

    An emo is a type of gothic style dressed person. To snog, is making out. I think it comes from England phrases.

    2) Snogging is a British term. I guess it's getting some play over here.

    1) Emo kids are teens with common teen problems they think nobody else understands (even though EVERYBODY understands and is bored). They listen to whiny music and wear girls' pants.

    emo means a kid who dyes their hair really weird and pretends to cut them selves and cry all day at school and then goes home and gets outta the skinny jeans and watches spongebob. they are losers.

    snogging is actually british, and is just cuddling or kissing. most americans think it has to do with full on sex or making out. but its not.

    Wow. That's a loaded one. Need extra context. Def #a million. He/ She performs a certain game good. Def#two. He/She is a massive flirt. Def #three. He/She isn't severe, takes relationships evenly. This which means on the whole has a bad connotation.

    1) an emo is basically someone who is "emotionally disturbed".

    2) yep, snogging is just what us brits call making out.
