Very subtle indeed!

fancy-schmancy: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/fancy-schmancy

fancy-dancy: https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=fancy%20dancy

Well fancy that!

Would Rita ever consult a dictionary?

To use them in a sentence.

Darlene looked fancy-shmancy in that fancy-dansy dress.

Probably an Asian vendor, who will reply “You are welcome.”

Rita, why not get your assistant to write the letter?

Always use Schmancy. It’s more explicit.

I’ve heard fancy-schmancy used before and understood the meaning, however fancy-dancy is a new one for me, so I had to look it up.

I am impressed by Rita’s grammatical seriousness.
