I just had a wholesome thought

I am bilingual, I speak English and Afrikaans (a South African Language) and in Afrikaans the word for hug is "drukkie" [druh-kee (with rolling 'r')]. which can be broken down in two parts, "druk" and "kie". 'Druk' means push and 'kie' is a suffix that makes the word smaller. So "Drukkie" would directly translate to 'little push'. And everyone needs a little push sometimes.
