glomp!
Posted on June 26th, 2006
I first heard the term glomp when I was at Fanime Con a few months back. Wiki gives the definition: “Glomping is a form of greeting used by anime fans. A typical “glomp” involves bear hugging someone and latching on tightly, though not enough to intentionally hurt the recipient. Sometimes it includes a running start. It has since expanded into slang amongst otaku, primarily on IRC, chat rooms, and Internet forums as an extended form of greeting.” This flickr photo really catches the spirit of a glomp - running up with gleeful exuberance to hug the hell outta someone.
