Question

What does snuggle you to death mean?

Answer 1

I would expect this word to be used when speaking about a baby or toddler or young child, puppy, kitten, spouse or partner. As an adult, I don't think I would snuggle with my parents except maybe if they were extremely sick (near death). I believe I would more likely describe it as embracing my parent or hugging rather than snuggling them. I might coddle them but that is a different word.

I would never say I had snuggled a colleague, but I might give them a hug or even an embrace. I would probably only embrace them if I knew them well and something had happened to them or their family (wedding, death, major accident, or some other life altering event.
