v, to glomp
NOT sexual, it is the action of one person lovingly (and dramatically) attacking another with a hug.
A glomp is often preadatory and lies somewhere in the grey area between a caring embrace, and a flying leap to tackle someone.
The term is used extesively in anime culture, as well as online in text form (anime because many anime characters do this often, and online because it is short and descriptive).
real life:
A runs at B as if to bowl her over, but instead picks up B and spins her around while squeezing her tightly.

online:
-*glomp!*
=hi!.. *squeek!* cant breathe ^-^
-*loosens grip*

A hug in the manner of a small child, similar to a bearhug but often including one or both legs as well as arms. Also a hug in which the hugger jumps and catches the victim by surprise or off-guard. Occasionally referred to as a cross between a running tackle and a bearhug.
A charges at B while B is unaware and body-slams them spread-eagle and latches onto them with all four limbs! B screams in surprise and gasps for air. Realizing it was not an attack, B hugs A back. :3

>>>what A did would be considered a "Glomp"<<<

v. Glomp is a way of hugging someone hard sometimes nearly crushing them. The act of hugging violently/ pouncing on a unsuspecting victim. This turn is often used in anime and manga becuase most people don't actually attack people when giving hugs....most people. Look up Glomp.

Pee Calculus

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
