smirting n. using smoking as a pretense to flirt. Editorial Note: This word has signs of being factitious: the first appearance of the word so far found is in a press release, and nearly all uses of the word found anywhere in print talk about the word as a phenomenon in itself, whereas a naturally occurring and propagated word would more often be used without explanation. Etymological Note: smoking+ flirting (source: Double-Tongued Dictionary)
