Tionólette?

We have these weekly piper gatherings, just three to five peopleor so. Given the small size and frequency, I’ve been searching for a word for these meetings -other than tionól- that befits the piper’s gravitas, and finally came up with one: we now attend a weekly pipers’ colloquium. :smiley:

How about the term “tionólín”. :smiley:

I thought of that, but I wanted something more ivory tower and lofty, like.

“Colloquium? Colloquium?? Pardon me while I play the grand piano!”

What’s wrong with “session” or “seissun”? Or “soiree” or “hen party”? :smiley:

I just want to know why I haven’t been invited. I can squawk with the best of 'em.

Tionólette?

Sounds like a brand of butt wipe. :smiley:

Waidaminnit. You ARE where I think you are, right? Not where it looks like you are. Or ought to be if you weren’t in the other place. You’re making my brain hurt.

Nice piping weather hereabouts, though. Wanna see what the reed has to think about it.

Since there are mulitple gatherings you can use the plural of tionól which is tionóil .

Thus, you can then use the term tionóillet and that way your pun dollar can go alot farther.

Tionolite

Tionólette? - Sounds very sanitary altogether! :astonished:

Padge.

Tionolite sounds like a type of granitic rock

… the piper’s rock. :smiley:

sym·po·si·um ( P ) Pronunciation Key (sm-pz-m)
n. pl. sym·po·si·ums or sym·po·si·a (-z-)

  1. A meeting or conference for discussion of a topic, especially one in which the participants form an audience and make presentations.
  2. A collection of writings on a particular topic, as in a magazine.
  3. A convivial meeting for drinking, music, and intellectual discussion among the ancient Greeks.


    Before the term ‘Tionól’ took off they were called ‘Symposiums’ (or ‘Symposia’). Hence the first two anual meetings of NPU are called the symposiums. Would attendees then be “Symposeurs”?

I always liked the sound of it anyway.

Nah, that would be Tionelle®. :smiley:

and to answer the question. I’m in St. Paul, not Bangkok. It’s true, I swear it.
