fornicating You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

  To be fair, I had to look it up to realize that the word implies that both parties are unmarried. In today's parlance, "fornicate" generally is just a synonym for sexual congress.

    Wait now I'm confused. Fornicate means Have sexual intercourse with someone one is not married to. https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/fornicate https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/fornicate Seems the original use was accurate no?

      Welcome to English as it is spoken, vs, English as it is defined.

        Er, except the actual cited definition matches use (there is an uncited definition upthread that doesn't, but that definition of just a poor definition, since definitions aim to describe use.)
