That's a classic Freudian slip, you thought he was saying bear hug instead of beer hug because you actually wanted a bear hug from him...
Unless... he was actually thinking about giving you a hug but then he saw your face and made up an excuse using a bear hug! It was all a plan!
Lol no it's even worse than all of that, look!!!
A literal bear hug!!
A literal bear hug, sounds... damaging xD
It's a strong one! I would expect nothing less from a bear!
