.... or ‘romp’, come to that? Why do the tabloids use these daft words?

Not so long ago when DH and I were in B & Q on a Wednesday (old people's discount day) and they were playing 60s music I was tempted to start cavorting round the aisles but DH was not in favour at all!

Shame on him, Nonnie grin

Loved this thread so couldn't resist having a look in today's DM and found this:-
Age-defying Elizabeth Hurley, 52, flaunts her jaw-dropping curves as she shares a sizzling Valentine's shot of herself lounging in a skimpy red bikini. I could manage the lounging if not the jaw dropping curves. Others mentioned have a perky derrière and an ample cleavage. I am sure lots of gransnetters could manage those.

Well, I certainly have more ample cleavage than in days of yore, but the old derriere is not as perky.

I do a fair bit of lounging though.

Haven’t heard the word ‘caper’ for a long time, we shoukd use it more, or the word ‘tomfoolery’ which sums up this thread.?

We (me & DH) still cavort with each other. When the weather is warm in summer, we sit outside naked (taking care to be discreet), make love in the garden at night and I wear some very outrageous corsets grin

Outside naked in the garden I might add!!

lemongrove Wed 14-Feb-18 18:29:59

Actually blue......you weren’t as discreet as you thought, as DH says if he hangs out of the bathroom window and uses his binoculars, he has a good view ( and likes your red corset best!) ?

Yesterday morning, about 5.30 a.m ?

Such a good thread, it has cheered me up. I even found a memory of cavorting in the recesses of my mind. I seem to have been young and energetic and enjoying it a lot.

The last time I cavorted I banged my nose and the headboard and saw stars!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️?

I seem to recall NfkDumpling that you and your DH have a caravan. Was it your van which I saw in North Norfolk with the following sign attached.......
“If you see this van a rockin
Please don’t come a knockin” !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ive not done anything like cavorting or romping etc. Appart from what ive read in romance novels it all sounds too boring. Rathet go to bed with a good murder or fsntasy not the sex kind. Where on earth are the brackets on a samsung fone.

NotTooOld Wed 14-Feb-18 22:24:15

Well, I'm going to have a late new year resolution - do more cavorting and romping before it's too late. I might add in a bit of sleaze, too. That's another favourite of the tabloids.

"Eighteen months ago with DH in a sauna in Sweden"

"make love in the garden at night and I wear some very outrageous corsets"

That's the ticket!

Anyone from leicester uk

lovebeigecardigans1955 Thu 15-Feb-18 09:32:54

Well, if you do yourself a mischief or put your back out while cavorting or romping then sadly you must accept that your cavorting days are over!

frankie74 Thu 15-Feb-18 10:01:44

We cavorted a lot in our student days - we got a degree in it wink

GrannyO Thu 15-Feb-18 10:21:46

'Cavorting' brings Miranda Hart doing her gallopy thing. Always looks so liberating. Wish I was less inhibited.

maryhoffman37 Thu 15-Feb-18 10:26:50

I'm quite good at galumphing if that's any help.

GrandmasueUK Thu 15-Feb-18 10:27:58

I accidentally flashed flaunted my 'jaw dropping curves' and 'ample cleavage' to the parcel delivery man at the door when I signed for some books yesterday blush . He cavorted off down the path very quickly!

HootyMcOwlface Thu 15-Feb-18 10:32:36

'Slap up meal' puzzles me! Does anyone use that term in real life?!

HootyMcOwlface Thu 15-Feb-18 10:39:21

Perhaps those cavorting have slap up meals afterwards to get their strength back?

TillyWhiz Thu 15-Feb-18 10:39:25

Last time DH and I cavorted, we pushed the leatherette sofa against the mobile heater and melted the back!
