a gender neutral term for aunt or uncle, based on the phrase "parent's sibling." generally used collectively, as a term for aunts and
uncles together, similar to the word
niblings for nieces and nephews together.
My
brothers and sisters are my siblings. My aunts and uncles are my piblings.
Bob: Hey, how come the word "siblings" exists for "
brothers and sisters," but there's no word for "aunts and
uncles"?
Alice: There is. It's "piblings."
Bob: I can't stand my piblings, except
Auntie Em. She's cool.
