A friendly embrace between two guys that does not follow the restrictions of the man hug. The participants are almost always very good friends. It can occur for any number of reasons, for any length of time, at any location, but does not have sexual connotations. It is a rare sight in the western world due to rampant homophobia.
Kenny opened his arms, and Zach ran in to give him a guy hug.
Megan: "That hug was over five seconds, are they gay?"
Colin: "No man, they're good friends, its just a guy hug."

An awkward embrace, usually between two heterosexual men who are uncomfortable touching each other, in which each person uses only one hand to hold the other person close and uses the other hand to pat, slap, or punch the back of the other person. A straight-guy hug is used to insure that no one watching will think the two people are intimate or have an emotional attachment or sexual attraction to each other. Women and gay, bi, or trans men who are uncomfortable touching one another may also use a straight-guy hug.
