Indeed, Sir. I sank happily with the Titanic.

All rules of grammar aside, "drank tank" has a nicer ring to it than "drunk tank"...though I'd accept "drunk trunk" as a reasonable compromise, since it's not actually a "tank" to begin with anyhow...

Victim of a downward spiral of alcoholism, the distinguished professor finally graduated from think tank to drunk tank.

In future, when I am adjacent any school I graduated (there are many), I will thank my Latin teacher for her frown on trochaic translations of Caesar’s fave word: “harass,” and mentally toast her in the Happy Isles above where she roots for her students who cracked up when reading her wallboard newspaper clipping about current “native speakers of classical Latin” who omit needless words. Nas drovia! (That’s Polish, just for irrelevant variety.)

I don't see any problem with a transitive usage. "From" is naturally implied; no one is going to imagine otherwise, as we never speak of people as graduating to/into school.

Broadening the way the word can be used took it beyond only meaning "to confer a degree upon" in English to begin with.

I'm adjacent Allen on this one.

Na zdrowie Allen!

Sorry, Jan! I don’t have the appropriate bottle in front of me to read from. Auditory memory isn’t typographically perfect. Thank you for bringing me the correct foam. Na zdrowie!

Glasses are being chinked and waggled all over the shop, toasts scraped and buttered, but to what are we drinking? To the demise of the old Doctor or to the emergence of the new? Has he been superseded or regenerated? Who knows.
