Does “Foot Loose” go with that “Fancy Free”?….. That’s the way I’ve always heard it, “Foot loose and fancy free”….. Never really thought of it’s origin….. That’s a toughie….. I’ll give it some thought…..

Fancy free means “without ties or commitments” or “single and loving it”. Fancy sick means “love-sick”. I don’t know if Willie the Shake coined these terms, but they were both used in “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” circa 1590. The “foot-loose and fancy free” phrase came much later, but before Kevin Bacon was born.

RtG seems to be in the know – again….. A walking, talking library!…. Maybe the opposite of “foot-loose and fancy free” is “foot NOT loose and fancy sick”…… You think?……
