079. What is the definition of "glomp"?

Glomp is a term often used by anime fans, most often used on IRC. Usually used as a verb to 'glomp' someone is usually to latch on to or hug a person quite tightly, in the style a real child might hug a much taller adult's leg tightly. Thus the hug is merely affectionate, never sexual, no matter how tight the hug is. To run up and pounce on somebody as an embrace: a cross between a tackle and a hug. Usually performed by a female or small child.

Different Types of Glomping:

1) Flying Glomp: Usually used as a surprise attack, this airborne glomp can be attained with a running start or by standing on a conveiniently-placed high object such as a table or chair. This type of glomp is often found in Sailormoon or other shoujo manga.

2) Glomp of Death: Similar to the Flying Glomp, the Death-Glomp can easily injure someone. It is usually done from behind and without the target's knowledge.

3) Tackle Glomp: As the name indicates, this glomp is meant to knock the target to the floor. Should not be done on concrete floors or near sharp objects. This type of glomp can be found in lime-ish situations, especially fanfics.

4) Twirl-Glomp: Less dangerous than the other types, this glomp usually involves the target's prior knowledge or excellent aim. The target may glomp back and/or spin around in a circle with the assailant. For highest effect the assailant must be lighter weight than the target, preferably by half.

Variations:

1) Arm Glomp: Attach yourself to your victim--I mean, target--'s arm They cannot escape. Sometimes called the Jun glomp by the author of this guide, having Digimon origins. Also emplyed by Shampoo in Ranma 1/2.

2) Neck Glomp: Can be employed as a choke hold. Encircle your target's neck. Use with care unless aiming to stop respiration.

3) Jogress Glomp: Another glomp with Digimon origins, with the Jogress the target is glomped from two sides at once. An Arm or Neck glomp can be used simultaneously.

Other variations can easily be made using the placement of the arms, dependng on the target's size/relationship to you/patience. The span of time before the glomp is released also depends on these factors.
