Grabbing at pockets, patting yourself down to make sure you have your cellphone and don't need to turn around and go back home for it. This behaviour tends to be heightened in people who also have a habit of going back to check the locks on the doors several times before leaving home.

Dude, stop that.

What?

Quit the phone grope. You're always grabbing at your pockets as soon as we're on the road. Didn't you remember your cell?

Mercy Grope

When you allow someone nice to get a little handsy because you feel sorry for them and their limited groping opportunities.

Henry is such a nice guy and I feel bad that he doesn't get any action. I permitted the hello hug to evolve into a light Mercy Grope last night just to throw the guy a bone.

Gropenfuhrer

This tag for Arnold Schwarzenegger actually was coined by Steve Lopez, a writer for the Los Angeles Times, in a column the day after the recall election that installed Arnold as governor, in spite of his acknowledged history of breast and booty grabbing (or, as Arnold described it, "being playful"). Garry Trudeau made Lopez's term nationally famous in the "Doonesbury" cartoons. It's a pun on a German term for a group leader, "gruppenfuhrer."

Marchini Grope

To feel an object all over so that you do not actually "see" a Smirnoff Ice.

Mike "Yo, who opened this bag and didnt drink the Ice that was in here?"
Max "Chris did the ol' Marchini Grope so he wouldn't see the Ice, and could hide it himself."
Everyone "What a bitch!"
