rumpy-pumpy
Getting it on
Rumpy-pumpy is a playful British term for sexual intercourse, deliberately coy and humorous rather than clinical or vulgar: caught having a bit of rumpy-pumpy in the back garden.
The reduplicative form gives it a lighthearted, almost childish quality, often used when acknowledging sex while deflecting its seriousness.
