  1. 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…..

  2. I guess they go together….sounds like it anyway.

  3. #3 by Randalf the Grey

    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.

  4. 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?……

  5. OK Randalf. Close…..2.5 points. The BIG BOOK says: Fancy Free….not in love. Fancy Sick…..love-sick.

  6. Hey Randalf knows what’s in every book in every library in the woild.
