Here are some words to NOT use this summer. Should we all decolonize our language?

The word existed in France centuries before American slavery reached its peak. The word “picnic” comes from the French word pique-nique, which appeared in the late 17th century. - Pique = “to pick” - Nique = a nonsense or light term meaning “thing” or “trifle” Together, it implied: “To pick at small things”… like a casual gathering where everyone brought a little something to eat.

That makes total sense. I like the word even more now.

suggests she's a disingenuous ass. "Conclusion The video's claims about the origin of "picnic" are factually incorrect. The etymology of "picnic" does not support the racist origin suggested. The discussion on "folk art" vs. "fine art" oversimplifies the terminology and history of art, and the push to change skin color descriptors reflects a valid concern about colorism but is not a requirement for all linguistic usage. In summary, the video contains misinformation regarding the word "picnic" and presents a skewed view of art terminology. The suggestion to change language around skin color is a matter of personal and cultural preference rather than a factual correction."

If I change my vocabulary from picnic to outing, I'll have the gays preaching to me next. Sorry you're offended, sister.

The word "picnic" comes from the French term *pique-nique*, first recorded in the late 17th century. The term appeared in French literature around 1693. No evidence supports claims of darker origins tied to racial violence; those are modern myths.

does this song fit Miami

Does anyone actually obey these absurd demands?

Why did their women look like dudes?

That is not where the word picnic comes from. They just pick words that sound like something and make up a meaning behind it. Google is free!!
