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.

Get the Cable and cuddlemug. A polite, comedic term for oral sex. Can be said in public and around children. Also great when asking a new fuck buddy if they perform blow jobs.

Get the Cuddle Curvesmug. When in a large group of people you, under the cover of a blanket, put your hand on someone's leg, stomach, or other like places. Making sure that noone other than you and the recipient know what is going on under said blanket.
Last night I was at my girls place and we watched a movie with her parents. It was cool though we subtle cuddled the whole time....they had no idea.
