In some circles this is an insulting name when it’s used to refer to a man. It functions as a more discreet and marginally less derogatory way of saying an extreme femimale or the biggest faggot .
This meaning stems from the reference to that Durian has been nicknamed the “King of Fruits.” Which in actuality could of been a rather cool nickname if it wasn’t for FRUIT having extremely well known slang meanings that can be highly offensive to both men and women:
- a flaming homosexual or queer man
- a man seen as being feminine due to being outwardly flamboyant.
- a man perceived as somewhat queer, who also is seen as stereotypically girly because of other personality traits like; hypersensitivity, weakness, whines, emotional frailness, or being emotionally over-affected rather than handling.
So a “King of Fruits” or “Durian” would be Royally Fruit-like and more so than anyone else the speaker knows

“Entotarianism” is a protologism coined online in the 2010s. It’s the practice of eating insects + arachnids (and sometimes larvae/worms, myriapods & isopods) while abstaining from meat.
All these animals are often colloquially called “bugs” in America even though only certain insects are true bugs by definition.
Adherents of entotarianism may label themselves “entotarians” at risk of bemusing others since the term is unfamiliar (entotarianism & similar terms are so rarely searched that you can’t even run them through GoogleTrends)
Entotarian is a blend of “éntomon” (“insect” in Greek) w/ “vegetarian”—matching other diet terms that have the same pattern but are more established, popular & understood. {Examples: vegetation+ -arian (as in agrarian)= Vegetarian, pesce+vegetarian= Pescetarian, lac/lacticinia +vegetarian= Lactarian, fruit+vegetarian= Fruitarian} BUT this term is informal slang & unestablished since it’s niche jargon. No mainstream dictionaries list it nor have any prevalence studies been done. It’s likely very rare since entomophagy (insect consumption) is common in regions where protein-sources are scarcer. Adopting a non-medical dietary-restriction is rarer in these areas than in affluent countries where more people have the luxury to choose to reject an entire food group.
Entotarianism is rare in the west due to low-accessibility of bug-products & low-willingness to eat bugs.

Entotarian: “Billions of people eat insects! And have you heard of entotarianism? Hear me out before you say it sounds gross and weird.”
Everyone: “It sounds gross and weird.”
Entotarian: “They’re organic, meatless, low-carb, high-protein, high in essential aminos, high in antioxidants, highly-prebiotic, anti-inflammatory, sugar-free, dairy-free, gluten-free, soy-free, carbon-neutral, sustainably-produced and humanely-raised! They’re also a viable source of zinc, iron, B5, B7, B12, good fats, insoluble fiber…

Get the Entotarianism mug.Pesco-vegan diets formed by borrowing aspects of pescetarian/pesco-vegetarian & vegan diets.
PescoVegans ARE NOT vegan/vegetarian. By definition, a pesco-vegan qualifies as a pescetarian since they I incorporate seafood (fish &/or shellfish) into their diet sometimes AND choose to abstain from meat consumption (ie; mammals/red meat, other tetrapods/white meat & body tissue of other land animals)
Pesco-vegan diets forbid animal byproducts (ex: eggs & dairy); making it similar to seagan diets & the terms are sometimes interchanged. Pesco-vegans/Seagans often supplement their diets w/ seafood for motives of nutrition, medical issues, healthspan/lifespan longevity & wellbeing
Terminology Names:
Vegetarian = Portmanteau of “Vegetation” & “agrarian”. References vegetarians mainly eat vegetation
Vegan = Formed by narrowing “vegetarian” to only include the beginning & end. Name pattern might reference that options for vegans are narrower than it is for most vegetarians.
Pescetarian = Portmanteau of “pesce” (fish) & “vegetarian.” Name pattern references fish-inclusion (finnedfish &/or shellfish) in an otherwise vegetarian diet.
Pesco-vegan = Formed by affixing “pesco-” (pesco-vegetarian) to “vegan”. Name references it’s pescetarianism but more restrictive in that animal byproducts are eschewed
Seagan = Portmanteau of “Seafood” & “Vegan”. Similar to pesco-vegan or a form of pescovegan

Gen Zer: “It’s not too complicated. All meat abstainers are either vegetarian or pescetarian…”
Boomer: “That’s it?”
Gen Zer: “Not quite… CLASSIC-vegetarians don’t eat animals but do eat animal byproducts like eggs & dairy. LACTO-Vegetarians are similar but permit dairy & omit eggs. OVO-Vegetarians are similar but permit eggs & omit dairy. VEGAN-vegetarians won’t eat/use any animal sourced foods or products. CLASSIC-Pescetarians eat seafood sometimes but otherwise follow a classic-vegetarian diet. LACTO-Pescetarians permit dairy, not eggs. OVO-Pescetarians (incl: Pescans) permit eggs, not dairy. PESCO-VEGANS / SEAGAN-Pescetarians usually eat vegan but supplement their diet with seafood sometimes. HOPE THAT CLEARED THINGS UP!”
