sideways hug 

A Denny Crane- like phenomenon in which a man tries to disingenuously cop a boob feel by putting his arm around a woman's shoulders, then inadvertently letting his hand drop below the shoulder and the arm, as a result getting a nice handful of tit "by accident", allowing the victim to rationalize the boob squeeze as an honest mistake, probably hers. Generally occurs in the workplace and is used most commonly and successfully by white men over 50.

Yeah, Dave thanked me for closing the deal and then gave me the sideways hug.

Oh yeah, once you make partner you'll for sure get the sideways hug, its just Dave's way of saying congratulations.

sideways-hug 

An affectionate "half-cuddle" whereby ya snuggle up beside da person and wrap yer arm around behind his/her waist. Ideal for public/formal/workplace settings where full-on chest-to-chest hugz might seem too forward, or for occasions like a cold day or a moving-crowd area where both of you hafta keep walking instead of stopping to embrace "properly".

Sideways-hugz can be just as satisfying to share as totally-face-to-face bear-hugz if both of you know dat you will be "snuggling properly" at a fairly-soon time.
