the shwaa

I use the word shwaa for that sensation you get when you see something adorable or you have the urge to grab someone or something ( like a puppy) and squeeze them, hug , kiss because of overwhelming affection and cuteness specifically. I call this getting the shwaa. It's a noun but it can be used as a verb as well.

n. Seeing that baby giraffe gave me the shwaa!! I wanted to squeeze his face!

v. My dog shwaaed my whole face in kisses!
