It’s funny how words change in meaning. A 1990 fashion headline tells us, Givenchy and Valentino Revel in Luxury. Now, the 2007 photo caption below informs us, Revellers wrestle in chocolate…
I started noticing a couple of months ago that every news photo caption we had from the running of the bulls in Pamplona contained the word revellers, even when folks were about to revel under a bull’s hoofprint stamped on their faces.
I did a caption search and found 200 shots of revellers from the past 90 days, mostly of people wallowing in mud, beer, foam, wine, sweat and worse. I don’t know, but it seems to me revelry was more fun back when you didn’t have to be hosed off afterwards.

I totally disagree with the last part of the sentence in which you write:” but it seems to me revelry was more fun back when you didnt have to be hosed off afterwards”. It must have to be a good reward and relief to be hosed off.

- Posted by Shawn HendricksDesmond jumped into the river to wash off, but the chocolate solidified almost immediately. He floated out of sight down the river and his friends feared the worst. Des was found a week later alive and clean but naked and seventeen pounds heavier.

That wasn’t peanut butter.
