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.
