Definitions by Ingeborg S. Nordén

Used to express a sentimental reaction to warm fuzzy experiences. (The number of W's at the end is arbitrary, but at least two or three normally occur in this word.)
Awww...that kid hugging the teddy bear looks SO cute!
Awww, I love it when we snuggle...

Snuggle Huggle 

A display of affection which combines snuggling and hugging; a very cozy hug.
Janet gave me a snuggle huggle and squealed, "I'm sooo glad you're home!"
The plural form of hug; more than one warm, affectionate embrace (whether offered by the same person or by many).
Hugs can't solve everything, but they do help a good friend know that you love them.

"This is your brain on hugs..." (announcer tucks an egg into a nest of pillows) "...Any questions?"

An informal Swedish term for coziness; comfort and relaxation, especially at home. Not necessarily sexual, despite the way some Swedes use the word online: Cuddling on the couch with a partner is still _mys_, even if neither person wants to go further. Sitting by a fireplace and reading a favorite book is also _mys_, even if you're alone and don't have sex on your mind.
Det var synd att din kille inte kunde skilja på hångel och mys. (It's too bad that your boyfriend couldn't tell the difference between making out and getting cozy.)

coziness 

A sense of contentment, comfort, and warmth.
A mug of cocoa, a romance novel, and my favorite blanket: that's my idea of coziness on a lonely day at home.

I envy cats sometimes; they seem able to curl up and find coziness almost anywhere.

bible-thumper 

(So called because some evangelists literally thump their Bibles to emphasize important parts of a sermon.)

A person whose religious beliefs include strict adherence to the Bible. He is likely to deliver angry sermons to anyone who believes differently, even if that "difference" means belonging to a church that disagrees with his interpretation of Scriptures.
DeeDee's co-workers called her a Bible-thumper after she tacked gospel tracts onto the office bulletin board.

cuddlebuddy 

A very close friend who enjoys cuddling, but does not have a sexual relationship with the person he likes. (See Huggy Buddies.)
1. Mark and I aren't lovers--just cuddlebuddies.
2. Jo Ann wished she had a real cuddlebuddy who could sleep over sometimes; keeping a teddy bear in bed embarrassed her.
