cuddle puddle

A group of people cuddling en masse, usually to comfort each other or express mutual friendship. Sometimes associated with raves and use of the drug Ecstasy; however, G-rated cuddle puddles can form in other situations.

Lisa's friends offered her so many hugs that everyone formed a cuddle puddle in the den.

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.

bible-thumper

(So called because some evangelists literally thump their Bibles to emphasize important parts of a sermon.)

A person whose religious beliefs include strict adherence to the Bible. He is likely to deliver angry sermons to anyone who believes differently, even if that "difference" means belonging to a church that disagrees with his interpretation of Scriptures.

DeeDee's co-workers called her a Bible-thumper after she tacked gospel tracts onto the office bulletin board.

Mmm...nice!
Mmm, I love it when we snuggle...

snuggly

Soft, warm, and comfortable; evoking a desire to snuggle.

I loved to sneak the quilt off Mom's bed when I was a girl; it was hard to resist anything that snuggly.

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.
