The philosophy which respects animal rights.
Vegans believe that animals have natural, unalienable moral rights, including to life, bodily autonomy and freedom in general. To be vegan is to respect those rights and to refrain from exploitation, killing and other forms of harm, towards animals. To achieve this, vegans exclude animal derived products from their diet and other areas of their life.
Some go even further and contribute to vegan activism by pushing their views of not killing onto others, which is super annoying!

A lifestyle where one chooses to eat a plant-based(ie. not eat animal products) due to moral, environmental and/or health reasons etc.
Veganism is a lifestyle.

An annoying person.
"Stop being such a vegan!"
"I hate to be vegan... but could you please move your (car) seat forward a bit?"
"I don't like Sandra, she's a vegan."

An asshole.
Look at that vegan over there.
I like to eat meat and don't mind if others eat meat because i'm not a vegan.
