A social-distance way to safely express a hug, by holding your arms straight out at your sides, like a Cabbage Patch Kid doll, while standing 6 feet apart. During the coronavirus pandemic quarantines of 2019-2020, people were told, "wash your hands," "wear a mask, and "social distance" to avoid transmitting or getting the Rona.
"I'm so glad to see you, Aunt Sara! Gimme a big hug.

"All right, Aunt Sara. Here's a Cabbage Patch hug for my favorite aunt.

Guy: "Hey how about we go back to my place and we Netflix and Chill?"
Girl: "Ummm... How about we just "Spotify and Side Hug instead?"
