Fancy, Popular Discussions, and Fair Play

I have been holding back from posting another entry, because the previous postSpelling Grammar Words Languagewas so popular - the number of comments is heading for 100, the sign of high interest. A key feature is that the word 'fancy' does not appear in the post, but does appear in a response I made:Uncle Matthew (ie Farve) says in The Pursuit of Love'Fancy hearing one's wife talking about notepaper - the irritation!'Dear blogfriend Roger Allen picked up on this use of 'fancy' and then so did everyone else, and the word has now been discussed in the comments more than I should think it ever has been, with every possible meaning given a going-over.- including the romance of prostitution as a way out of poverty, as featured in a Bobbie Gentry song (top picture, which came from another fan, Andy Miller of Backlisted. We are a small select group).As I said on social media #ReasonsILoveMyBlog: nothing could make me happier than finding a random shared hot topic this way. Thank you…
