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 Cuddle Curves mug.Turbo cuddling (turbo cuddler, T.C., or T.C-ing.). An act by an individual that demands an often obscene quantity of cuddling. This individual can be annoying at times, but has nothing but best intentions in mind. It's a person that's far too sensitive for their own good and needs both feedback and valadation much more so than your average companion.
