At the risk of seeming a total nerd (the cap fits comfortably!) the six letter word IS formally the official term. (Source, an Act most recently updated in 1997, the title of which I which I won’t give for fear of a spoiler.) The extra has long been used by convention to avoid an obvious source of confusion.

I’ll get my coat……

Just in case the other thread disappears I'm duplicating my post (and jack aubrey might be interested in my last paragraph).

I think the category from 28 that's being applied to 20 is the result of a misreading of 20's IMDb.
If you look at the entries for 2014 you'll see him credited as the 28 of an awards programme. However, this was for a particular award - 'Best Young Performance' - and he was joint 28 with Dani Harmer (the overall ceremony had the very well known 28 P.S.).

Thanks for being sympathetic to my quibble regarding the designation of the other place, loge. If, like me, you'd been born on the other side of the river to that place - in the place (rightly, I think) favoured by God - you'd appreciate how much it matters to those people on the northern bank. But I doubt it matters much in this context.

'fancy' is the anagram indicator for the next two words + 'n[early]' (but there's an extra letter). The answer is a common enough word in a different context.
