skinship

In Japan and Korea, the term "skinship" is used to describe the intimacy, or closeness, between a mother and a child. Today, the word is generally used for bonding through physical contact, such as holding hands, hugging, or parents washing their child at a bath. The earliest citation of this word appears in Nihon Kokugo Daijiten in 1971. (from Wikipedia)

Sainthood

album by Tegan and Sara. The name was inspired by a Leonard Cohen song, "Came So Far For Beauty".

"I practiced all my sainthood/I gave to one and all/ But the rumors of my virtue/ They moved her not at all"

The idea behind Sainthood is that you're potentially not good but you're practicing at being good to win the affections of someone.
practicing Sainthood. That is, pretending to be someone you aren't; pretending to be good in order to get someone to like you.
