Refers to a "totally hands-on" method of getting acquainted where a beamingly-sociable person immediately arms-wraps and majorly "retains" da person whom he's meeting for da first time, prompting said immersively-embraced individual to eventually address da third person who had presumably been gonna introduce da two of them "normally", and meekly inquire, "Who's hugging me?"
Note to all of you eagerly-forward glad-handers out there: while it's often true dat employing da w.h.m. introduction method may indeed be delightful and jovial, please bear in mind dat not everyone has da self-confidence or relaxed personal-boundary perimeters dat you yourself may possess. So to avoid anyone's feeling bashful or "smothered", ya might wanna either (1) initially just extend yer arms tentatively towards da other person to see if he seems comfy wif it, or (2) include da third individual --- i.e., da one who was gonna introduce you to said huggee --- in said stupendous-squeezy, so dat it's more of a "group hug" thing where da not-yet-introduced person won't feel "vulnerable" or "singled out".
