Word: griot Part of Speech: noun Etymology: Borrowed from French griot. Pronunciation: /ˈɡɹi.oʊ/ 1. A West African storyteller who passes on oral traditions; a wandering musician and poet. Example: Griots may be the chroniclers of an important family or of a group of people — like the Bambara hunters’ griot — or itinerant poets and musicians who extol the praises of the person who has hired them for a special festivity. Example: When ethnographers are asked to read their works to gatherings of Songhay, elders, they, too, are considered griots. Ethnographers, however, usually consider themselves scholars, not griots. They prepare themselves for their life's work in a manner altogether different from that of the griot.

Something about an ESA spationaut putting their ass into a sling is unappealing. 3. An astronaut, regardless of nationality. Example: How many spationauts are there?
