    But Latin is the classy part of English. That’s why “fornication” is not profane but “fucking” is. The first is descended from Latin (via the Norman conquest of England by William the Conqueror) and the second is descended from Anglo-Saxon (who were the conquered.) Everyday, the Romans still rule.
