English term
Hooking up
J'ai besoin de savoir s'il existe une traduction OFFICIELLE pour cette expression popularisée aux États-Unis.
Merci d'avance, si vous pouvez me la communiquer...
:)
***Références************
Quoted above are a guy, age nineteen, and a girl, age fifteen, each talking about one of the most popular dating trends today: hooking up. Sometimes called “friends with benefits,” both involve a wide variety of sexual activities (anything from kissing to intercourse) between friends or complete strangers.
****************
"During a class discussion on adolescence, a high school teacher recently asked her students whether they go on dates. We don’t “date,” the 12th graders reported. We “hook up.”
If you’re in your 40s, “hooking up” might mean catching a friend downtown for lunch. But to people in their teens or 20s, the phrase often means a casual sexual encounter — anything from kissing onwards — with no strings attached.
*************
Hooking up has come to define sexual relationships for most of today's teens and young women. It can mean anything from kissing and touching to oral sex or intercourse.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

sortir
Of course, I have no idea if this is the 'official' term you are looking for, but it certainly would appear to be a vernacular equivalent, at least from my empirical observations!

: I have 2 teenagers here in France, they would use the word sortir even for a very short relationship... ils sont sortis ensemble hier soir. Whereas ils sortent ensemble would be more like going steady.

se choper
"faut qu'on se chope un de ces quatre pour prendre un café" : une phrase que moi je pourrais dire, les quadragénaires je n'en sais rien
"Hier j'ai chopé en boîte" = je me suis fait un mec/une fille. Assez courant il me semble (bien que je n'aille plus en boîte !)
Après, je ne sais pas si la génération après moi parle encore comme cela...

alpaguer
Quand ma grand-mère se fait alpaguer en ville (bon, certes, c'est à Marmande et c'est une expression bien de là-bas), c'est qu'elle rencontre une connaissance et que ça se met à papoter pour ne plus s'arrêter...Elle revient en retard, ce n'est pas sa faute...Elle s'est fait alpaguer...

Et puis, la plupart du temps, ce sont des rencontres qui n'étaient pas prévues à l'avance, ça arrive sur le coup, bien souvent les jeunes ne connaissent même pas le nom de la personne avec qui ils "hook up". Ils ont même des abbréviations pour préciser le type de hook up qu'ils ont eu, en évaluant la soirée de 1 à 10... Il faut donc que cette expression soit plus que de "rencontrer" ou "sortir" tout simplement.
Se choper semble la plus près du sens recherché, mais elle n'est pas utilisée au Canada. D'autres idées??? :)
