Laa-Laa

One of the two female Teletubbies, bright yellow with a curlicued antenna. She is fond of playing with a gigantic orange ball, singing to herself, and hugging her fellow 'tubbies (see Big hug!)

"Fidit, fidit, mar, mar, man..."
"La-la-la-la-la...Eh-oh, Po! Cooter nice!"
"Eh-oh, Laa-Laa!"
"Big hug!"
"BIIIIIG HUUUUUG!"

G-rated

(Originally referred to the American film-rating system, in which "G" stands for "general admission".)

1. Appropriate for all ages, with no offensive content such as violence, drug use, profanity, or sex acts.

2. Sanitized or altered to remove offensive content.

1. Just because a movie is G-rated, that doesn't mean it's a kiddie show: ever see _The Sound of Music_?

2. I'd better tell you the G-rated version of what went on at the school dance; my mom is probably listening in!

cuddle whore

A person (usually a woman) obsessed with cuddling. Sometimes the person herself (or her close friends) will use this term jokingly.

Kate is such a cuddle whore that she asked half our party guests to hug her!

awww

Used to express a sentimental reaction to warm fuzzy experiences. (The number of W's at the end is arbitrary, but at least two or three normally occur in this word.)

Awww...that kid hugging the teddy bear looks SO cute!
Awww, I love it when we snuggle...

AC/DC

A hard-rock band from the 1970s. Subject of many rumors related to Satanism, partly because of their song titles (e.g., Highway to Hell) and partly because of their name (wrongly believed to stand for "AntiChrist, Devil's Child").

Actually, I've heard that AC/DC took the name from a label on one member's vacuum cleaner.

arctophile

A person who collects and enjoys teddy bears. Unlike "plushophile", this word almost NEVER implies a sexual fetish--only a sentimental interest.

Frannie is a serious arctophile if I ever met one: Not only did she have wall-to-wall shelves built for her teddy bear collection, but she also bought a database program just to catalog each bear by age and manufacturer.
