cringles

An overwhelming feeling that washes over you when you see something or someone so adorable that you want to squeeze the cuteness out of them so much, that you might cause injury in doing so.

Cringles can also be used in a more general sense, when one is completely overwhelmed by something adorable or cute. In this case, they can get a case of the cringles.

History of the word:

I wrote an article about words that should be added to the dictionary, including ”cringles”.

Description of cringles in article:

“This word is perfect for when you find yourself in a situation with the cutest little baby bunny, kitten or other excessively tiny and cute creature that you can imagine. You may find yourself wanting to squeeze this adorable creature as tightly as you possibly can, but know that if you do, that you would squish it to death. And that is most definitely not what anyone would want to do.

This term can also be used when describing beloved people (especially ones mate or children) who are being exceptionally charming and delectable.

I use this word in sentences, such as, “Oh my God, that baby bunny is so cute, it is giving me the cringles!” Or, “I love you so much and that amazingly loving card you gave me is making me get the cringles for you.”

I can’t think of another word in the English language that adequately describes this feeling. Other people who I have known for any amount of time have adopted this word into their vocabulary as well.”

That baby bunny is so cute, it is giving me cringles!

Get that puppy away from me, because I might not be able to resist this overwhelming feeling of cringles that is washing over me!

Every time I shop for my newborn niece, I get a case of the cringles from the thought of how adorable she will look in all of these itty-bitty, irresistibly cute pajamas.
