    Cultural capital or currency is really not the same thing as fanciness. The fact that you (and others) consider this a vulgarisation rather than an enrichment of the language is the proof. The asker is looking for a language that elicits the exact opposite reaction to yours. P.S. Un peu de courtoisie va tellement loin sur StackExchange. Commented Oct 22, 2018 at 15:10
  • I think you read me "en diagonale", because I'm precisely talking about "fanciness", and I show that, in this modern time in France, it has even become "overfanciness" or "hyperfanciness". It is this "hyper" that I dislike, not the opportunity to take a benefit from the fact that the Anglo-Saxon world has been the avant-garde of innovation for more than a century.
