The Allusionist
The Making of Love in American English, by a P G Woodhouse Doffl
Make love has been in use way longer to mean courtship, yet i was familiar with it from books to mean to woo. It's a english version of a french term, a fer lamor which is dated from the 15 hundreds but meant sexual intercourse by the 16 twenties. And this is the word goop, not to mean gluy substance, but rather to describe a person. I think it just means slightly pathetic individual, a bit wet as mythe the phrase might have gone a few decades ago,. yesethe dictionary siys a bad mannered or inconsiderate person.
