It is a conjunction because it connects. It is in interjection: at least it sounds like one. It is plural because it calls for another. It is singular because there is nothing else like it. It is usually in apposition with a caress: at any rate it is sure to follow. A kiss can be conjugated but never declined. —Rammer-Jammer.
