The act of sitting close to a person, side-by-side, but facing opposite directions, and interlocking one arm each to form a pretzel.
This could be considered a prequel to cuddling, since resting your head on their shoulder, nuzzling, and tracing your fingers over their arm, etc. is acceptable, and expected.
On the base system it would be before first base; and on the snogging scale it would be an approximate 2.5.
Like a one armed hug, but only your arms are hugging while your head is nuzzling and you are giggling about whatever it is that makes you giggle :)

"Wanna go Pretzel?"
"oooooh, dirty"

a pretzel is a salty, sometimes chocolate covered snack food made of crisscrossing dough. also a highly dangerous terrorist weapon used in an assassination attempt on the 43rd president George "Dubya" Bush.

A dry and pretentious person, a pretzel is used as a metaphor. This is because pretzel snacks have pretended to be the healthier alternative to potato chips for years, when in fact, then have more calories per gram. Pretzels are also dry and flavorless; this matches the description of a person perfectly. Furthermore, pretzels are usually salted; a salty person is usually unpleasant.
The captain of the football team is such a pretzel. He think he's king, but the only reason the talentless wretch got on the team is because the coach is his dad. And I suppose that's why he's captain, too.

a male who, upon a post-hookup facebook check or upon hearing comments from witnesses of said hookup, turns out to be somewhat less attractive than one originally thought; often characterized by the taste of a pretzel.
