    Beyond the definition

    A picnicker is simply a person who is having a picnic or going on one. The word usually brings to mind a relaxed outdoor meal, with blankets on the grass, baskets of food, and people enjoying a park, beach, or other open place. It does not have to mean someone who loves picnics in a special way; often it just means one of the people taking part. In a story, you might see children, families, or travelers described as picnickers when they stop to eat outside and enjoy the setting.
