Doug doesn't know what fornication is


In the ep where they both refrain from sex for a couple of weeks, when they wind up having sex again, Doug exclaims "fornication". Which doesn't apply to married people. Now, either it was a joke on Doug being stupid or the writers didn't know the real meaning. Which one is it? As a joke, it wouldn't be funny. So did the writers mess up?

It's just a fancy word that sounds funny the way he says it. It's sitcom silliness, not meant for scholarly linguistic examination.
