a fabulous new word, by katie

Last Friday, the clinic where I work had no scheduled clients. So the three of us front-office ladies were planning to get food delivered and have a picnic.

Well, one of the ladies called in sick on Friday. I still wanted to have the picnic as planned, but the other lady didn't want to, even though she had not brought anything for lunch because we were going to order out. So we didn't have our picnic.

Today, the lady who was out sick asked if we had our picnic.

Me: "I wanted to, but Louise didn't want to. Even though she didn't bring anything."

Louise: "Yeah, I just had some scones from the freezer upstairs."

Me: "I guess she just didn't want to have a picnic with me. I'm unpicnicable."

The end.

I like the French verb "pique-niquer", but I wonder if the English comes from the French or vice versa. In my head, I always translate it to "steal-fuck".

My goodness. That NEVER occured to me before. Great. Now every time I hear the word I'll be thinking of that.

non-pique-nique-able?

Unpicnicable. The weather is being unpicnicable. Does that work?

Yes, that is a perfectly good use. Also, you could say, "The ground is so soggy, it's totally unpicnicable."

Also, of an unruly or undesirable guest, you can say, "I hate it when she comes. She's completely unpicnicable."
