Really, does anybody know?

*HUGGLE*

Willco · Jul 7, 2004

I invented it when I was talking to my girlfriend. True story.

Deleted member 1235 · Jul 7, 2004

It's made up by that guy who needs to be shot. He lives on the internet and coins catch phrases such as *HUGGLE* and "HAWT!"

Agent Dormer · Jul 7, 2004

If you don't know, blame it on the furries. Sick bastards.

MonkeyBoy · Jul 7, 2004

Hoggle????????

belgurdo · Jul 7, 2004

I remember that some dork at GameFAQs used to use that a lot in his posts, but I doubt he's the origin...

Saturnman · Jul 7, 2004

There are not enough cuddly words in the English vocabulary, you have to make up some of your own.

I particularly like to puggle and snuzzle a girlfriend.

explodet · Jul 7, 2004

It's a bastardization of the words "hug" and "snuggle".

I believe there may be some truth to this. (About furries starting it)

Isn't it from that anime series Fruits Basket, where a girl has to "huggle" (not quite a hug) ... someone in order for them to become an animal?

Meier · Jul 7, 2004

Uhh, no it wasnt created by Fruits Basket heh. I remember it from back when I used to use Prodigy Chat about 8-9 years ago. It's not a particularly new term or anything.

Fifty · Jul 7, 2004

I have never heard of it, until now. I'm going to pretend that I still haven't heard of such a word, and that's how I'm fighting the problem.

Seth C · Jul 8, 2004

Yeah, it was definitely in use around 95-96. Old, old term.

Ghost · Jul 8, 2004

God's Hand · Jul 8, 2004

Wouldn't that be "huddle?"

Oooh.... and another part of the secret homoerotic nature of football comes into focus.

Really, it's just easier to blame everything on the furries.

impirius · Jul 8, 2004

Yup, it was on IRC 9 or 10 years ago.

Blech.

etiolate · Jul 8, 2004

...would you get angry if it was me? Who started saying it on efnet irc many many many years ago?

It's hug + snuggle obviously.

Wrong! I never went to the football games! I sat at home, and watched anime!

Uh... hmm...

Where the hell did the term huggle come from?
