Level 7

A personal meeting with the sole intention of having sex. It's Americanism that has made its way over here in part and not widely used especially those of us from a sheltered background. ?

In the US its a derogatory sexist term meant to pass judgment and bestow guilt on women who even suggest they just need to hold someone tonight for whatever their personal reason may be without asking for a lifetime commitment from partners as many women are prone to force other women to do. A holdover from religious teaching regarding personal sex lives.

I don't find hook up derogatory. It's what it's called.

@MsAl
Not all women use it that way but many do, oh, and how you doing? ?

Casual sex, booty call are some other frequent synonyms.

Also, 'one night stand"

@nvrnuff Also getting lucky, really lucky. 🙂

@Sticks48 .... or really unlucky - when you need to see the doc.

In English or American?
In English it can mean an agreement to meet up, usually regularly. A sort of casual "getting engaged".
In American it tends to mean a more intimate relationship, long or short time, involving "nookie"

Hey you xx

@Amisja You trying to hook up? Put some bait on the hook and use a strong line!

Agree. Its one of those lost in translation phrases. Like telling Americans you had great craic at the weekend. In Irish it means fun, all thery hear is 'cocaine'.

@Tilia Even the English eventually discovered that that was what it meant - and not some guy bragging about his latest bedroom escapade. ?
