      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.

        What happens if they try? Do they go to jail or is it just a fine?

          Zizi is French slang for “penis”
