    I mean, that was slightly fictional, although that’s the maybe the joke. And set a sesquicentury ago.

        Yeah, I futzed with it a bit. At first I did sesquicentennial, but that’s purely an adjective which isn’t great. Sesquicentenary refers to the day, so that wouldn’t work. So, I made a nonce word which, if you know these other two, is clear.

        I’ll just ignore the insulting tone.
