  • pterodactyl Here's the meaning I've inferred: when you "glomp" someone, you're giving them a sudden surprise hug, and the hug is so enthusiastic that it risks knocking them over.

    TVTropes indulges in some etymological speculation:

    While aggressive hugs are nothing new (in Real Life or in media) the use of the term "Glomp" to describe them appears to have stemmed from its use as a sound effect in manga translations by Viz Media. (One folk etymology asserts that it stands for "Grab, Latch On, Maintain Pressure" but that is probably a backronym applied to the word after it became popular.) The word itself appears to be a mutation of the established English word "glom" which means "to grab; to latch on" (as found in the words "agglomeration" and "conglomerate") with a final "p" sound added to give it more of a sense of definite action. Can function as an onomatopoeia.
