Pesco-Vegan

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: “None of my offspring, nieces, nephews, cousin’s kids eat meat anymore. They’re hard to cook holiday meals for because they all have different diets & preferences

Boomer: “Well, I can’t even keep up with all these meatless diets that millennials and zoomers think are so great.”

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!”

Boomer: “Clear as mud, thanks”

Vicarious Vegan

Someone who eats a plant based diet based off the food of the animal they are eating.
Oh, no, I didn’t say I was a vegan, I said I was a vicarious vegan. My steak is grass fed. I’m plant based through his diet

Verge-Vegan

A person who is on the verge of becoming a Vegan but hasn't come to terms with it.

Love of a good steak versus the horrors witnessed in meat processing plant videos has created a "Verge" scenario. One more video may push the Verge-Vegan to becoming a full on Vegan.

Vegan

A person who has a diet strictly of non-meat. Yet still wearing clothes made of animals which makes them look like an idiot. They shove the fact that they're a Vegan in other peoples face. They are usually loud and annoying and most people wan't to kill these people. Vegans also tend to show people videos of animals dying in factories to be made into meat products. No one gives a flying fuck, things die all the fucking time. Get the fuck over it and eat some meat. It's not going to kill you, you fucking pussy.
Mommy I've become a Vegan.
You're a disgrace to this family Johnny. Nobody likes you and you should kill yourself.

Vegan Law

Similar to Godwin's Law - in that most vegans assume they are better than non-vegans just because they are vegan. Sadly, turns out to be false in the vast majority of cases.
She invoked vegan law on me - she assumed she was better than me because she doesn't use animal products.
