Playtron definition and a new (to me) Dictionary

Thanks to Genevieve Netz at the Prairie Bluestem blog, I was introduced to a new dictionary the other day. Genevieve attended the Tennessee Renaissance Festival on Mother’s Day and heard the word “playtron.” She used the Double Tongued Dictionary, “A lexicon of fringe English, focusing on slang, jargon, and new words,” to research the word and there she found the definition for “Playtron” along with citations for its use.

Playtron – noun – An observer or visitor at a Renaissance fair or festival who wears a costume suited for the time period.

Yep, that sounds like us here at FaireNews!
