A derogatory expression for the cynical act on the part of a politician of visiting the relatives of a recently deceased person in order to express his or her sympathy.
Corpse cuddling is meaningless unless there is a full media continent present to record the visit as a photo and soundbite opportunity that will be broadcast on the evening news.
Ideally the deceased is either a "typical" member of the community or someone in the emergency services e.g. a paramedic who died in unusual circumstances. The objective of corpse cuddling is to win public support for the politician by portraying this person as someone having deep human empathy and who is "in touch" with "ordinary" citizens.
Also known as shroud waving.

An alarm you set before your primary alarm to allow for cuddle time with your partner before getting up for the day. Similar to hitting snooze, except it's primary purpose is morning cuddles.

When two guys cuddle with one another. Sometimes this happens when you have to share a bed with another guy or guys. Often used sarcastically among straight guys who pretend to be gay, for laughs.
Friend: "Dude, you wanna crash on the couch?"
Me: "Only if we can man-cuddle..."
Friend: "Dude! No!"
Me: laughs
