Just to be sure I was right, I e-mailed my sister who lives in France to
ask her about this expression. Sure enough... So, guys, do *not* say
this to anyone other than your lover! ;-)

Here is my sister's reply:

<Your friend Ken Shaw seems to have gotten the translations reversed. "
Baisse moi" literally means " kiss me" however is never used in that
way
because it also has developed through the years to mean " fu-- me" ( no

oral sex in it at all)! "Donne moi une baissé " is what you would say to

anyone, especially les enfants, and giving the cheek at the same time,
when
asking for a little kiss.>
