oral
Oral (Latin os, the mouth) signifies uttered through the mouth or (in common phrase) by word of mouth; verbal (Latin verbum, a word) signifies of, pertaining to, or connected with words, especially with words as distinguished from the ideas they convey; vocal (Latin vox, the voice) signifies of or pertaining to the voice, uttered or modulated by the voice, and especially uttered with or sounding with full, resonant voice; literal (Latin litera, a letter) signifies consisting of or expressed by letters, or according to the letter, in the broader sense of the exact meaning or requirement of the words used; what is called «the letter of the law» is its literal meaning without going behind what is expressed by the letters on the page. Thus oral applies to that which is given by spoken words in distinction from that which is written or printed; as, oral tradition; an oral examination. By this rule we should in strictness speak of an oral contract or an oral message, but verbal contract and verbal message, as indicating that which is by spoken rather than by written words, have become so fixed in the language that they can probably never be changed; this usage is also in line with other idioms of the language; as, «I give you my word,» «a true man’s word is as good as his bond,» «by word of mouth,» etc. A verbal translation may be oral or written, so that it is word for word; a literal translation follows the construction and idiom of the original as well as the words; a literal translation is more than one that is merely verbal; both verbal and literal are opposed to free. In the same sense, of attending to words only, we speak of verbal criticism, a verbal change. Vocal has primary reference to the human voice; as, vocal sounds, vocal music; vocal may be applied within certain limits to inarticulate sounds given forth by other animals than man; as, the woods were vocal with the songs of birds; oral is never so applied, but is limited to articulate utterance regarded as having a definite meaning; as, an oral statement.

I have received an oral report from the evaluation committee with the conclusion that there has not been sufficient progress in Budapest. Therefore I will not propose to vote or even discuss Fidesz, we will continue the suspension as long as the situation is as it is… I don’t intend to start my presidency by revolution or large divisions, but I won’t compromise about values. How can one even do that? We must find a practical solution.

How to use «Oral» in context?
As we commonly use the term, oral means pertaining to the mouth. That’s why oral sex is sometimes also called «mouth sex» or «cock-sucking.» Oral sex can refer to any kind of sexual activity involving the mouth, including kissing, licking, biting and sucking. It can also include exploring the other person’s genitals with the mouth.
Some people enjoy the feeling of their partner’s warm, wet mouth on their genitals. Others find that oral sex is a powerful way to sexually stimulate their partner.
