Refers to where Person A wishes to give Person B a big ol’ "arms-around", but is presently unable to conveniently/acceptably approach Person B to do so. Person C, however, does happen to be in a position to “administer da lovies” to Person B, and so Person C cheerfully/obligingly gives Person B a hug in lieu of da warm squeeze dat Person A had wanted to give Person B.
Proxy hugs can be administered for a wide variety of reasons, some of the more common instances are:
(1) The person wanting to give the hug is presently wedged away back behind some tall objects or in a tightly-confined space to attend to a necessary task back there, and so it would be excessively difficult for him to clamberingly extricate himself just to give the other person his hug, and then have to slither himself right back there again to finish his job.
(2) The person wanting to give the hug is all “sticky-yucky” from a hot/dusty/messy task he’s presently engaged in, and so he doesn’t want to soil the clean/neat garments/skin of the huggee.
(3) The person wanting to give the hug presently has a contagious illness, and so he does not want to touch or even come near anyone else for fear of spreading germs.
(4) The person wanting to give the hug is not actually present at the huggee’s location; maybe they are just talking on the phone, and the would-be hugger is super-grateful to the huggee for one of more nice things that he did for him. Something like this happens several times in the “Bionic Woman” series --- the Secretary of State wants to thank Jaime Sommers for her valorous services, but he is either super-tied-up with urgent matters of state or has to be out of the country at the time, and so he asks Oscar Goldman to thank Jaime for him.

Something that is not super-clear as to its exact attributes or properties, but reeks to high-Heaven --- figuratively or literally --- nonetheless.

Tronald Dump surely spewed a varioty of inciteful mumbo-jumbo during his infamous "Republican fight" speech early January!

What a phony weight-loss doctor performs by having an overweight person view himself in a gimmicked looking glass dat is slightly concave, causing his reflected image to appear slimmer than he actually is.
Perhaps if President Taft's official doctor performed a "mirroracle of medicine" to trick said corpulent commander-in-chief into thinking dat he was actually not quite so rotund as he actually was, it caused him to feel a bit less despondent about his weight, but it did nothing to alter said heavy head-honcho's actual bulk --- he had not been any less space-occupying at da time of his death, and so he is rumored to have been buried in a coffin da size of a piano case.

Refers to the actions/appearance of a person or object which influence/motivate observers to become crazed or ridiculous in various sectors/aspects of their daily behavior.
Tronald Dump is extremely inspirrational to anyone foolish enough to watch him on TV or listen to any of his crack-brained philosophies, theories, or grandiose plans for our future... if we listen to him long enough, we will all go raving mad. That arrogant pie-in-the-sky dude should "put HIS money where his mouth is" rather than presuming to fulfill his pipe-dreams with OUR NATION'S money (or Mexico's).

The only occasions that the selfish Garfield does a purrformance are when he either wants something or is trying to cover up/minimize some disaster he caused, such as eating one of Jon's ferns or shredding the curtains/furniture.

Sarcastic/amused remark regarding da lack of personal improvement, enlightenment, etc. dat da cantankerous ranting dat Peanut, Walter, Bubba J., and Achmed have displayed over da years has had on their puppeteer.
Walter always trumpets da advantages of being crabby and overly serious, and Ahmed rails at Jeff about da supposed hazards of associating with 'infidels", but a whole lotta good it's dunham!
