big spoon
Embracer from behind
Big spoon is the person who curves around their partner's back during spooning—the cuddling position where two people lie on their sides, nested together.
The big spoon wraps their arm around the little spoon, who faces away.
Despite the name, either partner can be the big spoon regardless of size: She likes being the big spoon even though he's taller.
