Talk:couple with

Why "couple with?"
I decided to create a new article (as opposed to putting this in the "couple" entry) because I didn't find any usage of "couple" (by itself) to mean "sexual intercourse." The usage seems only to exist in the form "couple with." If anybody finds any evidence to the contrary, however, we can easily enough shift the citations, etc, to the couple page.

 * It is used without "with", as in, "They coupled early and often." See at bgc. DCDuring TALK  16:40, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

couple with
Redirect to couple. "Couple" had been missing the long-standing sense of copulate. In that sense a prepositional phrase headed by "with" is as optional as one beginning with, say, "in", "on", "for", or "until". DCDuring TALK 16:27, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
 * If deleted, the citations should probably go to Citations:couple or couple, rather than Citations:couple with. DCDuring TALK 16:27, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

Thanks DCDuring, no arguments from the original page creator. I've got to work on my Google Books-searching skills. I've already shifted the couple with citations to Citations:couple.
