Sorry, but that could not be more wrong. "Fancy" is an inherently funny word. It conveys something that's trying to be posh, but in an insouciant sort of way -- unlike "classy", which is used only by those who think they are, which, it goes without saying, they are not.

PUhleeze, people who say :classy" generally acknowledge that they themselves are not and are using the term as a compliment to those that they admire but know they could never be. Sort of like a a hopless prole from the 718 admiring Carolyn Bessette from afar but having no chance of even polishing her shoes. Fancy is similar and would describe an activity or event that a classy person might throw. NOw please let me tretire in peace. out.
