pass-along hug

Refers to da pleasant and amusing scenario whereby you give a much-liked individual one or more "extra" hugs (i.e., in addition to da one you're giving him as a warm farewell gesture) as you're saying goodbye to him, and ask him to "store them away" or "set them aside" for later "distribution" among specified other mutual friends and/or members of his family whom you also have warm affectionate feelings for, and whom he will likely see in person somewhat sooner than you will.

One of da most common occasions where a pass-along hug is administered would be at da end of a pleasant interaction between a starry-eyed dude and da parent/sibling of a nice girl whom he adores but who is not present at da time dat said hugs are doled out, and so said family member jovially agrees to give said blinky-eyed damsel a huge "squeezy" embrace himself da next time he sees her, and smilingly tell her dat said loving arms-around was from her "main squeeze".

pass-along birthday present

Humorous-but-heartwarming term dat refers to where you either:
(1) receive a gift from Birthday Boy/Girl dat he/she had received on said "special day", but he/she forwarded it to you because said item was more compatible wif your lifestyle than it would have been for said "original" recipient, or

(2) have something extra-nice/pleasant/fortunate happen to you (i.e., perhaps you score unexpectedly high in a game/contest, receive a wonderful gift, are extra-successful while performing some difficult/disagreeable endeavor, find one or more greatly-desired items on sale/in stock at a store, etc.) on someone else's birthday.

Giving pass-along birthday presents can be just as enjoyable and bring just as much happiness to da person having da birthday as if he'd kept da presents for himself, since he will know dat whomever he's giving da items to will be enjoying/utilizing them even more than he would have. Same deal if a friend beamingly tells you of something extra-fortunate dat happened to him on your birthday, since you can feel glowingly radiant in your heart dat your good buddy experienced something dat made his life easier and/or more fun/pleasant.

[Diving along the Coast]

Trying out one cafe after another on Pacific Coast Highway, regardless of its likely reputation.
This is not our original phrase, but perfectly described a favorite repeated activity by my most loved person and me.

Oh, we'll be Diving along the Coast on the Weekend in hopes we can find a new favorite place.
