2000s Affect

periodic affection

Refers to da occasional hugs, kisses, hand-claps, pats on the head/back, shoulder-scrunchies, etc. dat at a cuddly dude gives a visiting lady-friend to ensure dat she never feels ignored, lonesome, or "left out" for too long during periods while he's busying himself with "bachelor chores" like housework, vehicle-maintenance, etc.

I met a nice lady on Tagged.com who is wonderful company whenever she visits, but she has physical infirmities dat make her unable to just effortlessly tag along wif me while I go about my daily duties around da house and garage, so I always make sure to shower her wif plenty of periodic affection so dat she feels reassured dat I remember dat she's there and appreciate her spending time wif me.
