glomming 

A practice commonly used at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) by men desiring female companionship. Due to the lopsided demographics (75% men, 25% women), one finds a dearth of women at Caltech. Thus, several men tend to court a woman at once. So, glomming refers to the practice of several men hooking onto (not literally) to one woman.
At a dance, one can find several men dancing with one woman. They are glomming her. Or, one might find several men walking to class with one woman. These men are glomming.

Glomming 

(Colloquially pronounced "glommin'") The act of making out in a particularly slobbery and intense manner; i.e. groping passionately while smacking lips together at a relatively high volume. It was derived from "glossy"- as in "lip gloss"- because both invoke a feeling of sticky, gooeyness that, as a third person observer, looks gross.
Person A: Oh ew! Gross!
Person B: What?
Person A: Veronica and Mark are glomming it up pretty hard over at the lunch tables! She's practically on top of him!

More from Urban Dictionary
West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
