spooners
Park bench lovebirds
Spooners are people who spoon—who cuddle in a nestled position with bodies curved together, one person's front against another's back.
The term is affectionate and slightly playful: We're champion spooners—fall asleep that way every night.
Less commonly, spooners are those who engage in spooning as old-fashioned courtship behavior.
