I can't stop listening to the Hamilton soundtrack. Aaron Burr falls in love with a British officer's wife named Theodosia. Eventually, they marry and have a daughter named Theodosia. I love the way he sings this name in "Wait for it".
When little Theodosia grew up and married, she and her husband were reportedly the first couple to honeymoon at Niagara Falls. She died at sea when she was 29. Wikinik.

I'm sure your comment is wonderful, but mostly it made me think we should have a Wordnik Piknik and that's all I've been able to think about all day.

That's the trouble with living in a time when portmanteaus are explodingly productive - everything sounds like a blend and every blend can be interpreted in many ways.
An e-piknik, presumably, where we each sit under our own vine and fig tree? (More lyrics from Hamilton).
