Grooming, an activity which originally applied to the care of horses, has more recently been applied to the practice of instilling moral character within young people.

It is most often used to negatively describe what would in different circumstances be traditional courtship behavior or dating rituals but it also has become a catchall phrase used to awfulize what otherwise would be deemed typical random or chance interactions between a minor attracted person and someone who is legally a minor.
