Casino Boogie is a great track, with that loping Keith Bassline and the best two-note sax solo in history.
as for "Kissing Cut in Cans" that makes no sense. I didn't read this thread, but I assume that someone has pointed out that Nellcote is located an hour or so from Cannes on the French Riviera, right?
So, it has to be Cannes.

It was, and with their paper cut-method there are lots of other phrases in this song without meaning as well

but none of that explains "cvnt" over "cut."

Perhaps, but unlike the other meaningless phrases in the song, "kissing cut in cans" sounds awkward and unnatural, something a native speaker would never come up with. Kind of like "you can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life".
It's hard to explain, but it's diction - if something is being dumped or thrown away, an English speaker would always say "in the can" never "in cans" or even "in the cans". It sounds like a something a Japanese guy speaking English would say. I have a hard time explaining this.

What's there to explain? Who's gonna kiss a film-cut? Now, for the other option, especially when you are Mick Jagger and you hardly think of anything else...

One of my all time favorites! It's perfect. It's a loose, sexy, stomp your feet kind of groove. One could play it for ages.
True gems are: Keith's back up vocals, Keith's guitar work on the intro, Taylor's monster solo (I consider it one of his best on record!).

I think Mick just can't stand or get over the fans & critics love of Exile as it's so "un-Mickish" and Keith's baby.. MEZ

It's lesser known songs like this and Turd which really contribute to making Exile such a special album. The Stones blur the line between country, rock, blues and r&b on Casino Boogie in way that they almost create a whole different genre of music. Bands like Pavement made a career out of mining the slacker-stoner tossed off vibe of this gem.

What people who don't get "Exile" (or - horrors - think it should have been compressed into a single LP) don't realize is that it's the "small" songs like Casino and Torn & Frayed that make such a great vibe, and the presence of blockbuster "hits" is besides the point. It's a coherent, dense, and deep artistic statement, like The Beatles' White Album.

It is indeed! Though I do think it's quite a bit more tight than the White Album--one of the most concise doubles ever, along with Electric Ladyland IMHO. The White Album, with 30 songs and every side almost 25 minutes long, is sprawling by comparison.

As for the much debated lyric, it was prominently displayed on a sheet of paper in the Stones in Exile documentary. .... Exactly
