How to use "Grope" in context?
The definition of "grope" is to touch someone or something inappropriately. This can be done a number of ways, including grabbing someone's bottom, putting your hand down their shirt, or even making sexual advances. Grope can be offensive, invasive, and even dangerous. It is important to note that there is no legal definition of groping, which leaves plenty of room for interpretation.
If you are ever accused of groping someone, you should be careful to avoid crossing the line. You might want to avoid making any physical contact at all, or at the very least, make sure that your hand is away from the person's body.
