Sex, naked cuddle.Something you do when you haven't seen your husband all week and you are both stressed out because of your responsibilities. You go back to bed on the weekend and just nookie.
It was April 1971, Vietnam was full-on.
I was talking to a girlfriend who was trying to decide whether to stay with me or go back with her boyfriend who was about to return from Nam. I somewhere got tongue tied between Fuck and Naughty. Somewhere between thought process and sound "Nookie" popped out. She said, "What'd you just say?" We both laughed, I immediately started using the word at every opportunity. The month was April.
