To display affection towards (someone), especially in a dramatic manner.
My boss got mad when Helen leaned over the counter to hug me: "If she wants to buy something, let her...but if she just wants to love on you, save it for quitting time."
Soft, warm, and comfortable; evoking a desire to snuggle.
I loved to sneak the quilt off Mom's bed when I was a girl; it was hard to resist anything that snuggly.

Teletubbies 

1. A British television program intended for very young children. Unfairly criticized by some adults who read hidden symbolism into the main characters' appearance, environment, and/or behavior. (Refuting such claims is beyond the scope of this web site, however.)

2. The title characters of this program: four characters with childlike faces, colorful unisex body-suits, and television screens on their bellies. All of the Teletubbies have a uniquely-shaped antenna growing from the top of their heads; these antennas glow whenever one of them receives a signal from the outside world (a short, live-action film starring children from various countries).

The rest of the show depicts Teletubbies acting like toddlers: sleeping and waking, exercising, playing outside, discovering strange objects. They also enjoy hugging each other, usually accompanied by their trademark phrase "Big hug!"
1. I've known people who were straight as arrows, never used recreational drugs, and didn't live with their children...but who still watched _Teletubbies_.

2. My friend's four-year-old daughter wore pajamas with pictures of the Teletubbies.
The most common way to show a cyberhug in programs without emote, action, or similar commands. Variant forms include *hugs*, *hugs you*, and *huuug*.
1. Hi, Jessica! *hug* Thank goodness I caught you online!

2. Before I sign off, I'd like to mail you a few hugs... *HUG* *HUG* *HUG*

1. A baby-talk pronunciation of love. When used by adults, "wuv" implies that the love-object is cute, childlike, and/or cuddly. Very rarely used about sexual attraction; puppy love is a near-synonym of this word.

2. Childlike displays of affection by someone who has fallen in "wuv".
1. Awww...I wuv you sooo much, my widdle snuggle bear.

2. My girlfriend's driving me nuts; every time we go on a date, she goes wuv-crazy.

A dance performed to the Village People song of the same name. Its main moves involve trying to form the letters Y-M-C-A with the upper body, although it includes other disco-style steps and slides.
My buddies dared me to do the "YMCA" dance at the party.

<33333333 

An exaggerated version of the less than three emoticon (heart, love, or luv) used in online forums and chatrooms. Used to indicate extremely strong love or attraction; akin to the multiple hearts drawn over/around a lovestruck cartoon character.

If read aloud, this symbol is best pronounced "lotsa-hearts" or "loooove": the number of threes may vary, sometimes growing too long for a literal mathematical reading.
I <33333333 you so much!
I <33333333 it when we hug...
I <33333333 pizza.
I <33333333 that teddy bear you gave me!
