Me: Parent is to mother and father as ? is to aunt and uncle. ChatGPT: Parent is to mother and father as pibling is to aunt and uncle. "Pibling" is a gender-neutral term that refers to the siblings of one's parents, encompassing both aunts and uncles. ____ No such word in my dictionary. Anyone?!

On further cross-examining, ChatGPT expands ... The term "pibling" (a gender-neutral term for aunt or uncle) has gained some attention in specialized discussions about non-binary language, but its use in mainstream or tier-1 media like The Times, BBC, or The Wall Street Journal appears to be very limited. It is recognized in sources like Microsoft Word's dictionary and discussed in niche articles or gender-inclusive language guides. However, it hasn’t yet become widely adopted in more prominent media outlets. It seems the term is still relatively uncommon, appearing mainly in online forums and linguistic discussions about non-binary or inclusive terminology.
