“Making Whoopie”
“Burning Dinner” ( because we had put the food on the grill, then became occupied with making whoopie, and the dinner burned)
“Playing Mario Kart”
Back in college, a knock on the door while we were actually playing Mario Kart prompted yells of “Just a minute!” while we tried to finish the race and scramble for the door. Naturally, those on the other side of the door jumped to all kinds of conclusions. The conversation went something like this:
Them: “What were you two doing in there?”
Us: “Just playing Mario Kart.”
Them: “Is that what you call it?”
And since then, we have.
“Making a deposit at the bank.”
ahem:
"Hey, you wanna do the … thing … baby? youknow … a little … heh … maybe … " And so on. Best delivered at a low mumble so my gf has no idea what I’m talking about, but the point still gets across. (If you know what I mean)
‘get after it’
Are we going to get after it, or do I have time to mow the lawn first?
In this context, mowing the lawn just means mowing the lawn.
We don’t see each other enough to have special words for it. Usually, it’s just a lot of groping when I get in the door to his apartment. I’m sure that will change when we see each other more:). Although, we have used the “wanna have a quickie?” line when we only had fifteen minutes one afternoon before heading to his parents’ for dinner.
I’m leaning towards “Gettin’ jiggity-jig” or “Do me now.” for next week when I see him:). I need next weekend to hurry up and get here.
Ava
Rats. And I thought you were going to say that it meant “shaving Elvis’ sideburns!”
AHHHHHHHHHHH. Too many euphemisms!
::head pops::
“Shooting Herschel”
“Riding the Subway”
“Going to Waco”
I bet I use these more than Mrs. Maroon.
Short and sweet…
“lovin”.
“Telecommuting”. Because working from home presents wonderful uninterrupted opportunities, for those with children.
Playing the Tent Game, for “telecommuting” on a camping trip while the kids are at the Junior Ranger program.
“Lets take a nap”
My boyfriends’ 6 yo nephew saw us canoodling once and yelled outside to the other kids “Ewwwwwwww they’re having a romance party!”
Now “having a romance party” means more then canoodling.
We use “running.” We work out together but neither of us like to run, so we both know what it means.
“Wanna rent a movie and go for a run after?” - porn
Others are completely oblivious. I think.
Back in the day, it was ‘playing cards’.
We have fun.
“Hijinks.” As in, “You up for some hijinks?”
Inspired by a time when, after finishing, we were lying there in sweaty bliss when MrWhatsit says, apropos of nothing, “Dude, those hijinks were SO not wacky.”
We call it “snuggle time” - because that is how it both begins and ends. (Aww, aren’t we romantic …) Sometimes we also have “Monkey Love Monday” or “Ferret Love Friday” or we “wrassle.”
When my (24-year-old) sister refers to other people “doing it,” she says they are “dusting the furniture.” I don’t know why, but I think it refers to my parents, and I just don’t want to think about THAT.
With the hand I’m holding, who needs a partner
Mugging
Napping
and he does a goofy eyebrow thing like Cal Meacham mentioned.
Wanna have a tumble?
Wanna fool around?
Feelin’ frisky?
Or we just whistle Jimmy Buffett’s “Why don’t we get drunk and screw?”
