I haven't met any other LUG members but I get the feeling that I might be
on the youngish side of the group (mid-30's). At least in the Southeastern
US where I grew up, 'Nookie' was not in common usage among my generation.
It was thought of as slang from an older generation, a very tame euphemism
compared to the terms we use(d) ;->
However, a few years ago a now popular thrash/rap band had a hit song
featuring the term - probably because the more common terms won't fly on
MTV... I seem to hear it much more often since then, sort of a renaissance
of old fashioned slang for parts of the female anatomy.
Here are links to lyrics and sound:

FWIW, since it is derivitive of the common noun 'nook', it seems like the
slang usage would be perfectly obvious...
Best,

"Nooky" is a noun, "shag" is a verb. That's why "nooky" is more polite.

Actually, it's not trans-generational, but trans-atlantic... think
Austin
Powers...
A reasonably polite English word for sex (a lot more polite than
"shag"!)
Or a Leica word for some strange obscure accessory that Marc will sell
every
now and then...
