What is glomping?

Glomping is a physical gesture in which a person tackles or jumps on another person, usually as a form of affection or greeting. It is commonly observed in cosplay events, anime and manga conventions, and other gatherings of fandoms. The term "glomp" originated from a combination of the words "hug" and "stomp" and has now become a part of internet and otaku culture. While glomping is usually intended in good fun, it can sometimes lead to accidental injuries if not executed with care. Thus, it is important to always ask for consent before glomping someone and only do so when it is safe and appropriate.
