The act of snuggling so closely with your partner that your bodies are pressing and smudging together, like you’re trying to blend into one person. You breathe them in, feel their skin, smell, and heartbeat until you swear you could fuse. It’s so full of love and intensity that you usually can’t do it for too long before you laugh, sigh, or need to take a breather.

When to Use:
When cuddling just isn’t enough
When you want to smudge your bodies together like two paint colors mixing
When you need an intense, heart-melting, soul-level moment with your person

Origin:
A made-up love word combining snuggling + smudging + spooning because regular cuddles don’t capture the intensity of wanting to completely merge with your partner.
“Albert and I spudged on bed and ended up like two marshmallows melting over a campfire.”
