Pick up

 
Geoffrey Chaucer (1340 or so to 1400) was an English writer that is probably most famous for his collection of Canterbury Tales. Chaucer was a ground-breaker in that he chose to write in English - it was Middle English then - rather than in the more popular French or Latin. His characters were also most realistic - to the point of coarseness and even complete vulgarity. Which is of course one reason why high school English students will still consider reading it. The pronunciation of Middle English is difficult and confusing - some say it is a little like a modern Scottish accent.

Anyway, the connection is tenuous at best but  I found these Middle English pick-up lines here.
