Interacting with Co-workers:

Co-worker #1: Long day’s work, huh? Whaddaya say we head out with the boys and toss back a few brews?

You: Why, yes — let’s indulge and revel in Dionysian bacchanalia!

Co-worker #2: It’s ironic that you say that, since ’"bacchanalia" is derived from Bacchus, the Greek equivalent of Dionysius. Though fulfilling the same basic duties as deities, Greek Bacchus and Roman Dionysius are based on such uniquely disparate cultures that they resist intermingling. So, in essence, your prepositional object is a contradiction, albeit a long dead one.

Co-worker #1: Hahahaha, “long dead,” hahahaha — that’s a good one, Steve.

You: Boo!
