Picnic?!

Check the etymology of the word...."the word picnic derives from the 17th century French word “pique-nique,” a term used to describe a social gathering in which attendees each contributed with a portion of food or another useful item".

I don't think there were any digital computers around in the 17th century.

I will use every one of these words and phrases more liberally and exclusively than all others.
