rodeo hug

A rodeo hug is an awkward hug with someone who would never expect it (bonus points for a business situation) where you try to hold on for 8 seconds. Typically, there are bonus points for stylistic maneuvers like swirling a hand on their back or tucking one's head into their neck. Whispers of "I never want this moment to end" also earn bonus points. It is in poor taste to lift the recipient off their feet. It is acceptable for the recipient to poke the "cowboy" in the ribs.

Hey, did you see Alan rodeo hug the new guy at the office? It was amazing, but he only made it 7 seconds.
