Hear it in real life
Are you going out tonight?
No, I'm having a wallow with some old films.
I had a wallow for an evening, then decided to call my friends and move on.
The mistake everyone makes
Not: I had a wallow of self-pity.
Say: I had a wallow in self-pity.
Use "in" before "self-pity"; "wallow" is normally followed by "in" when the feeling is named.
