Fornicalia
English
Etymology 1
- Possibly related to fornos a variation of furnus, Latin for "oven".
Proper noun
Fornicalia
- An ancient Roman festival in honor of the goddess Fornax. Romans burned spelt (a kind of grain) as an offering on or around February 17th as an offering so that their ovens would not burn during the coming year.
Etymology 2
Presumably a phonetic reversal of California, chosen to resemble fornication and to end with -alia (a common word ending found sometimes in geographical names, like Sedalia, perhaps also chosen because it ends genitalia and causes Fornicalia to match that word in meter and rhyme).
Proper noun
Fornicalia
- (humorous) California (state of the United States)
