Adams said that the housing section of the DOJ would not hold a picnic because the word picnic is offensive. I was hoping that somebody would follow-up on that. May send Megyn a brief email asking her to explore.
Supposedly, the word picnic
derives from a quaint ole south'n acronym for pick an n-word to lynch for our entertainment as we consume our box lunches outdoors
. The legend has been kicking around at least since 1999. Totally false, of course. The actual derivation of the word dates to 1692 and is derived from a French word meaning a group of diners who bring their own wine. But that's totally lost on the Obama / Holder Justice Department.
