coziness

A sense of contentment, comfort, and warmth.
A mug of cocoa, a romance novel, and my favorite blanket: that's my idea of coziness on a lonely day at home.

I envy cats sometimes; they seem able to curl up and find coziness almost anywhere.

Teletubbies

1. A British television program intended for very young children. Unfairly criticized by some adults who read hidden symbolism into the main characters' appearance, environment, and/or behavior. (Refuting such claims is beyond the scope of this web site, however.)

2. The title characters of this program: four characters with childlike faces, colorful unisex body-suits, and television screens on their bellies. All of the Teletubbies have a uniquely-shaped antenna growing from the top of their heads; these antennas glow whenever one of them receives a signal from the outside world (a short, live-action film starring children from various countries).

The rest of the show depicts Teletubbies acting like toddlers: sleeping and waking, exercising, playing outside, discovering strange objects. They also enjoy hugging each other, usually accompanied by their trademark phrase "Big hug!"
1. I've known people who were straight as arrows, never used recreational drugs, and didn't live with their children...but who still watched _Teletubbies_.

2. My friend's four-year-old daughter wore pajamas with pictures of the Teletubbies.

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.

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...

snuggle

To make oneself comfortable, usually by moving closer to another person or thing. To embrace closely, as to show affection or offer warmth.
Snuggling always helps me calm down and feel secure.

cyberhug

A virtual hug offered to participants in an IRC or instant messaging conversation. Can be written as *hug*, or by enclosing the recipient's name in multiple sets of braces/parentheses. (See {{{}}}.)
Come on--I'm not looking for sex in this chatroom just because I offered you a cyberhug!
