vegetarian 

Someone who does not eat meat. This includes fish and poultry, although some people claim to be 'modified vegetarians' and will eat these. Not to be confused with a vegan, who is someone who, in addition to meat, avoids milk, eggs, and the like.
'My vegetarian friend likes chocolate milk, but my vegan friend will only drink soymilk.'

Ultra-Recyclo Vegetarian 

Someone who does not eat anything with a face on it.
I have made my transition into an ultra-recyclo vegetarian, I no longer eat anything with a face on it.

vegetarian+ 

An umbrella term for the meatless community without specifying the type of vegetarian. Covers all forms of vegetarianism: pescatarian, lacto-vegetarian, vegan, etc.
The vegetarian+ community forgoes meat consumption as an everyday resistance to the status quo.

Not sure if she's vegan, but she's vegetarian+ for sure. Big environmentalist vibes.

Vegetarian 

A person who does not eat meat, including birds and fish. Many times vegetarians believe that killing animals today for food is immoral and unnecessary because we are able to survive off of other foods. A person who doesn't eat any meat except for fish is a pescatarian. A person who doesn't eat any meat or other animal products such as eggs, milk, and cheese is a vegan.
There are meat eaters, pescatarians, vegetarians, vegans, and raw foodists (which becomes obsessive compulsive in my opinion).
