i'd say if you took the literal meaning for fancy, i.e. "you quite like (a bit of) something", that gives the answer. fancying someone implies that you would like to act upon thoughts that someone is sexy. You can definitely find people sexy but not fancy them but I'm not sure you could find somone disgusting to look at & still fancy them, but maybe i'm shallow. to mis-quote the great Jules & Vincent from Pulp Fiction .... "Personality goes a long way". *so by that rationale, if a minger had a better personality, it would cease to be a minger?.... "Well yeah but we'd have to be talking about one charming motherf#*�ing minger here"
