Really, does anybody know?

*HUGGLE*

 

[Willco]

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

 

[Deleted member 1235]

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]

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

 

[MonkeyBoy]

Hoggle????????

 

[belgurdo]

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

 

[Saturnman]

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]

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

Who the hell flirts on the internet?

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

 

[Drexon]

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]

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]

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]

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

 

[Ghost]

hug + cuddle = Huggle

its not rocket science.

 

[God's Hand]

/me huggles ya

 

[IAmtheFMan]

hug + cuddle = Huggle

its not rocket science.

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]

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

Blech.

 

[etiolate]

...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...
