There was a weird urban legend going around a few years ago that the word “picnic” had something to do with people going to the countryside to watch a lynching while enjoying their basket of food and beverage.
I had a fairly intelligent black lady (I thought she was intelligent) tell me that very story one day and later when I came back with the true origins and entomology of the word “picnic” she scoffed. I haven’t talked to that stupid-ass since.
