Original Note:
To clarify the false racism claim: Some say it meant 'pic a nword' but its really based on the french word piquer meaning to pick or nibble, and the word nique which means not important or trifle. Even politifact said the term being racist is false. https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2019/feb/21/robert-mckinzie/fact-checking-myth-word-picnic-racist/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Picnic#cite_note-5
