Chefs Kissis a slang term used to express approval or satisfaction, typically in response to something impressive or well-executed. It is often accompanied by a gesture where one puts their fingertips to their lips and then spreads their fingers outward, mimicking a chef’s gesture of delicately adding a final touch to a dish.

This term derives from the image of a chef kissing their fingers to convey that a dish they prepared is delicious. It has now become a popular way to show appreciation for something done exceptionally well, whether it be a perfectly executed task, a particularly well-written paragraph, or a flawlessly delivered punchline.

Examples:
1. After tasting the homemade pizza, John exclaimed, “Chef’s Kiss! This is the best pizza I’ve ever had!”
2. Sarah watched her favorite dancer perform a stunning routine and couldn’t help but give a virtual “chef’s kiss” in the comments section to show her admiration.

Synonyms:
mwah, *chefs_kiss*
