Ingeborg S. Nordén's definitions

huggle

A combined hug/cuddle (or hug/snuggle according to some speakers). Warmer, softer, and friendlier than the ordinary hug.

Grandma always loved to huggle us when we were kids.

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.

AC/DC

A hard-rock band from the 1970s. Subject of many rumors related to Satanism, partly because of their song titles (e.g., Highway to Hell) and partly because of their name (wrongly believed to stand for "AntiChrist, Devil's Child").

Actually, I've heard that AC/DC took the name from a label on one member's vacuum cleaner.

awww

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...

arctophile

A person who collects and enjoys teddy bears. Unlike "plushophile", this word almost NEVER implies a sexual fetish--only a sentimental interest.

Frannie is a serious arctophile if I ever met one: Not only did she have wall-to-wall shelves built for her teddy bear collection, but she also bought a database program just to catalog each bear by age and manufacturer.

snuggle

To make oneself comfortable, usually by moving closer to another person or thing. To embrace closely, as to show affection or offer warmth.

Snuggling always helps me calm down and feel secure.

love on

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."
