Cabbage Patch hug

A social-distance way to safely express a hug, by holding your arms straight out at your sides, like a Cabbage Patch Kid doll, while standing 6 feet apart. During the coronavirus pandemic quarantines of 2019-2020, people were told, "wash your hands," "wear a mask, and "social distance" to avoid transmitting or getting the Rona.

"I'm so glad to see you, Aunt Sara! Gimme a big hug.
"No, baby, we can't do that. (Spreads her arms wide) Cabbage Patch hug, at a distance! When this damn COVID-19 thing is over, I'll hug you 10 times to make up for it."
"All right, Aunt Sara. Here's a Cabbage Patch hug for my favorite aunt.

nuzzle-hug

Super-soft-'n'-gentle arms-around dat you give someone "just 'cuz" --- i.e., you've already given him a major greeting-squeezie when he first showed up, and so now you're just tenderly holding him for an extended period to contentedly/seriously savor each other's heartbeats and long slow respirations.

Da nice thing --- one of many awesome aspects, actually! --- about giving a "sweet young thing" a nice long nuzzle-hug is dat you don't hafta eventually let her warm delightfully-alive self go in muscle-fatigued exhaustion da way you'd have to when giving a bear-hug, since said drowsily-affectionate zephyr-clasp requires very little strength or energy-expending to maintain. Bonus advantage --- said adorable chick won't likely feel particularly desirous to be released from said feather-light-'n'-tender embrace for a good while, anyway, since it won't make her feel squashed or pinioned, just da same as an open-palmed hands-clasp encourages her to let you hold her soft warm extremities for as long as you like, since said "palms merely rested on palms" positioning means dat she could always easily lift them away whenever she pleases, but she will respect and feel grateful for your wanting to keep her feeling unfettered, and so she likely will obligingly let you savor her warm softness for extended periods.
