A person skilled in or devoted to intellectual conversation and discussion during meals, especially formal dinners.
From Greek 'deipno' (dinner) and 'sophist' (wise person), literally meaning 'dinner-wise person,' inspired by Athenaeus's ancient text 'Deipnosophistae'.
Athenaeus wrote a famous ancient book called 'Deipnosophistae' about philosophers debating everything from fish recipes to moral philosophy at dinner—the original dinner party conversations.
