🔒 Suggestion: Change or Explain "Pibling"

Short suggestion: I think the "pibling" term on the family tree needs to either be changed to a full "Parent's Siblings" or have an explanation somewhere very nearby think emoji

It's a nonstandard term (even more then nibling) and I've seen multiple folks on the Discord, particularly new users or ESL speakers, get pretty confused by it, ahah.

(If anyone else has other suggestions please leave below!)

Did you know the word "pibling" before ChickenPet?

I think you were there when I did this, but I did informally poll about what to rename "aunts and uncles" to, and people voted for "piblings" over "parent's siblings" (the latter was the least popular option). An explanation in a tooltip could work though!

@circlejourney I was there yes, haha. I was just skeptical of it initially and wanted to refloat the suggestion since that was a few invite rounds ago and I'd seen several folks who weren't there for the discussion be confused since then.

Added "parents' siblings" in smaller text next to the heading!
