Gone Fishin’!

Very recently, I discovered what a glomp was. This was through the internet. I can see why the word glomp being used to describe a form of affection on the internet is efficient, but how could one tell the difference between a glomp and a tackle in real life?

A glomp seems to be an aggressive hug, with the receiver not happy with the attention. The tackle often accompanies a glomp where the receiver is knocked to the ground by a kind of flying tackle. Usually this type of behaviour is shown part of a skit, ad or comedy scene. If the receiver is really unhappy with the glomping activity, often an argument will follow.
