make

   1. to copulate with

   Normally the male makes the female:

    The team made eight hits

   And a girl in the bleachers called Alice.

   (Playboy's Book of Limericks)

   Either side can make it with the other:

    Georges Simenon, who says he made it with ten thousand different women. (Hailey, 1979)

    This old meat made it with Bernard Shaw. (Bradbury, 1976)

   A make can be an act of copulation, or a promiscuous woman, usually described as an easy make.

   2. a theft

   Criminal jargon:

    'It's not a make,' I said. 'You're in trouble.' (Chandler, 1939 — he was not just being accused of stealing)

   In the British army, to make an object was to loot or steal it.
