The frequently used word "Hug" can have different meanings in contemporary spoken language.
The most
common meaning relates the word to expressions of warmth and friendliness but among other various meanings
one in particular is noteworthy, namely the use of the term "Hug", especially in rap
music related contexts, as a synonym for the term "Strangled".
This usage seems to originate from mafia themed movies, within which some characters have threatened to strangle someone by saying "You're going to
get a hug".
