deipnosophist
[dahyp-nos-uh-fist]
noun: a person who is an adept conversationalist while dining
|
A deipnosophist is someone who excels at conversation over a meal. The word has a distinctly old-world flavor, but the idea is familiar: A good dinner companion can keep the table lively without dominating it. A true deipnosophist knows that the best dinners depend on more than what is served. |
Example: The talented deipnosophist kept everyone at the dinner table thoroughly entertained with his fascinating stories.
