I can confidently tell you that no one who actually knows Latin would ever say French is "Latin with fancy rules."
..which ironically makes for a perfect parallel with "C/C++"
C++ is pig latin
I just have some high school Latin from long ago, but if you parse "fancy" as "ornamental at the expense of utility", then I think it's a fair description.
That's a good point. I parsed "fancy" as "more intricate" and was immediately affronted ;) I like your take on it.
Btw, your username just gave me a good belly laugh
