I don't know... Pls. tell me... Maybe, it's something like disparar antes de preguntar... Or something like doing something and going quickly gossipping about it.

You're on the right track. I suppose when you say doing something, you are thinking about a specific kind of "something"...The guy in your example kissed and told when he said "Que sí, tío, que me la he... comido " (Sorry, Rusty, just leg-pulling, I'm not picking on you...)
So do you usually kiss and tell?

Of course, I'm Monica Lewinsky's brother. If not, what function does to kiss have?

Wrong answer, mate. You're just another macho man. You kiss just for the sake of it, of course...

Nah, I know lots of expressions I would never need to use in real life.
