half-hug
The act of going in sideways, and putting one arm around another person. It's "half a hug", it's awkward, and it basically says "I don't know how I feel about you."
I hadn't seen Julie in months. I was a little pissed of when she only gave me an awkward half-hug.
Half-Ass Hug
A half-ass hug is when someone hugs you on the side, with one arm, or with no real feeling in it.
"She only give you a half-ass hug. Not even a real hug. Like she doesn't care"
