Pibling (parent-sibling). Spanish speakers also have Titi (combining tio and Tia) and Italians (but NOT French) can use Zizi.

There’s also Unty and Auncle. I like Piblings though.

[–] jasondj@ttrpg.network 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Zizi is French slang for “penis”

Nibling is a great word. But we need a neutral version of aunt or uncle.
