Origin

The origin of the term "kiss of death" is disputed. At least one Italian source indicates that it is incorrect to call the Kiss of Judas the Kiss of death. Comunemente, ma a torto, l’espressione è usata nello stesso senso di bacio di Giuda. "Modi di dire: I (Idioms: I)" (in Italian).

In which case, yes, it's probably better to stay out of the business of declaring either usage as the origin of the term and just list them both without comment. --ShelfSkewed Talk 14:19, 13 November 2012 (UTC)Reply
