The word Picnic originally came from the word pick-a-nig or pick-a-nigger? Apparently, a black person was randomly "picked" and hanged for the entertainment of whites. The whites, including families, ate from box lunches while enjoying the barbaric act. If this is true we should stop using the word picnic, replacing it with outing or gathering.
It is clear that picnic was not derived from "pick-a-nigger," "pick-a-nig," or similar racist phrases. However, some of the almost 4,000 blacks who were lynched between 1882 and 1962 were lynched in settings that are appropriately described as picnic-like
The literal meaning of picque-nique, which became our picnic, is "each pick a bit."
In its meaning today's meaning: its a social gathering where each attendee brings a share of the food. Picnic is an outing or occasion that involves taking a packed meal to be eaten outdoors.It could be at a park or by the lake view where the family feels convenient
Families usually take quiet time to help them bond and resolve issues
