“When I was young, … our family often made junkets after church on Sunday, to Cook’s, a massive arrangement of barns and sheds near New London. Purveyors of everything from household items to car parts, it … had such buyer appeal that it seemed to be swarming with shoppers every time we stopped in.” — The Litchfield (Minnesota) Independent Review, 9 Feb. 2017
All of our selections come straight from Merriam Webster.
I’ve only ever used that word in reference to a press junket, but I like the idea of taking a family junket. I may have to try to work that into conversation sometime soon.

I thought the same thing. I’m definitely going to be using it more!
