make whoopee
Have romantic relations
Make whoopee is a dated, playful expression for having sex or engaging in boisterous merrymaking.
The phrase peaked in popularity after the 1928 song "Makin' Whoopee," which used it as a coy reference to honeymoon activities.
Today it sounds deliberately old-fashioned, often used for comic effect: The newlyweds went upstairs to make whoopee.
