Kissing cousin to the term, "I'm bracing for the worst", this term refers to when Person A is about to go through what may likely be "Hell in a handbasket", and so Person B is holding him close 'n' tight to reassure him and encourage him to not feel quite so distressed or afraid.
Young mother who's soothingly cradling a slight-figured blonde-pigtailed toddler on her knee in a doctor's waiting room: My little one's gonna have blood-work done for the first time, and so I'm embracing for the worst --- she's insanely petrified of needles, exactly like her Mama when I was her age. So not only will my holding her super-tight help her to feel safer and comforted while the syringe is being used, but it will also keep her terrified little body rock-steady in spite of her fears, and so the procedure can go off as quickly, cleanly, and painlessly as possible.

Get the embracing for the worst mug.Refers to a group-hug that you give to both a person of the opposite gender whom you like very much and his/her main squeeze; the theory is that this will reduce the chance of said significant other's feeling jealous or "left out", the way he/she might feel if you merely hugged your "target" person "individually".
Initially administering a diluted embrace does not necessarily mean that you are forfeiting your option to give your opposite-gender friend a "separate" hug at some point during your period of visiting with the pair of lovers; often, this "communal arms-around" can merely be the first of at least two such warm embraces; it can just be what you do as a "hello; so nice to see you" greeting when you first bump into the couple. After you all have finished exchanging friendly small talk or whatever else the three of you choose to share during that particular meeting, you probably can then give each of the two people an "individual" hug to say goodbye, which of course will allow you to cuddle up to your "target" person "exclusively" for a moment after all; extra points if this time you make sure to embrace the person's significant other first --- i.e., before you clasp your "target" person --- so that he/she will not have to wonder if he is gonna "get some lovies", too.

Get the Boston Embrace mug.Refers to da playful "arms held out wide 'n' to da side" gesture dat two super-sociable people beamingly display prior to giving each other a big ol' squeezy.
Offering a small child a stick-figure embrace is often an awesome way to make him feel less bashful and more comfy wif engaging in a "round of lovies" wif you --- often da attention-loving child will just gleefully rush in and snuggle up against you without really thinking too much about it.

Get the chaos' embraces mug.A tender wordless arms-around dat you perform wif yer sweetie during a shared slumber-period when you realize dat da blankets are in disarray; what ya do is to softly cradle her in yer arms, super-gently draw her upwards or sideways off of da bed and silently clasp her in a standing position for a long moment (slow-'n'-gentle shoulder-blade-scrunchies and quietly-affectionate lips-to-lips smooches optional, but often helpful in making said snooze-interruption even less distressing for her), then slowly-and-dreamily release her as you gradually step back a pace, and then immediately set about straightening up da blankets and pillows so dat she can see right away why you performed said unusual/unexpected bodily-maneuvers wif her.
Always employing a bed-fixing embrace will ensure dat your nap-sharing snuggle-bunny will never significantly mind having her sleepy-time occasionally disturbed, since it will mostly take da shock or "sting" outta said interruptions, plus of course it will have two hugely-welcome additional perks --- extra SNUGGLEZ, and being able to crawl back into a neat-'n'-comfy bed, and thus she can doze off in yer arms again in freshly-smoothed-blankets-and-tidied-pillows comfort.
