Well, it has been explained. Here is VERY common, instead of "to make love", we use it. Of course it's vulgar, but the use has softened that quite a bit. With relatives, friends, partners, etc, we use it. This is worth taking in mind but, to avoid complications, never use it this way. And Angelica is right, it'll be always understood if you use it with the dictionary meaning.
