BoyWiki Dictionary: Grooming (dictionary)
n psychobabble, derogatory, buzzword

¹ a minor attracted person befriending and establishing an emotional connection with someone legally a minor

² any contact between minor attracted person and someone legally a minor


Grooming normally thought of as the practice of instilling foundation of moral character within a child has become a negatively charged important-sounding or technical sounding buzzword used chiefly to incite fear by anti-pedophile and anti-hebephile extremists, as well as mental health professionals. 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.
