Deipnosophy
The art of intelligent dinner conversation. It is rarely found outside the context of upper-class social gatherings.
Dinner guest 1: "I would rather not say whether the quip of the porter surpasses the form of our host."
Dinner guest 2: "Indeed. I fear the latter's form is at least twice the product of the former's style."
Dinner guest 1: "Quite so."
(Both feign laughter)
Dinner guest 3: (thinking to himself) "For all their eloquent deipnosophy, the product of their combined creativity is an elaborate fat joke. How sad."
