The spelling "hickey" refers to a subcutaneous bruise, often on the neck, caused by oral suction that is used as sexual activity or foreplay. The mark is caused by an enthusiastic kiss or "love bite" - kissing and sucking on someone's skin for more than a few seconds.

The capitalized term "Hickies" refers to a patented form of decorative shoe closure that connects eyelets, as a replacement for shoelaces.

Hickeys, also known as love bites or kiss marks, are bruises that result from sucking or biting the skin, typically on the neck or other areas of the body. They occur when blood vessels near the skin's surface are broken, causing blood to leak into the surrounding tissues and creating a mark.
