Reach Out and Touch Someone

I must introduce you to a new term because it has been quite the topic of conversation among Nashville friends for some time now and I feel the need to pass along the amusement it has brought us.

junk hug (n): a full-frontal hug with pelvic thrust

Just the image and ridiculousness of this makes me laugh. Works well to express your sympathy, too: “Awww, poor thing. Do you need a junk hug?”

A friend’s co-worker came up with it. (And when I met him I stayed a safe distance away.) Upon it's creation, he said he would no longer shake client's hands - he would junk hug them. An added personal touch in our increasingly computerized and impersonal world. He may have something there.
