The internet slang term “Picnic” stands for “Problem In Chair Not In Computer.” It is used to suggest that the issue being faced is not due to a technical problem but rather a user error or lack of understanding.

Examples:

Example 1:

Person A: “I can’t access my emails, there must be something wrong with the server!”
Person B: “No, it’s probably just a picnic. Try double-checking your username and password.”

Example 2:

Person A: “I can’t figure out how to download this file. The website must be broken!”
Person B: “It’s not a server issue, you’re just having a picnic. Read the instructions carefully, it’s probably a simple step you missed.”
