A current cultural phenomenon.

Being a vegan is popular trend among the youth of today. These teens and young adults claim to not eat or use any animal products. What most of these trend following kids fail to realize is that many things they don't even know about contain animal products.

Many vegans like to hang out together and go get tattooed and pierced while listening to "hardcore" music and being "straight edge".

Most tattoo inks contain animal by-products.

Vegans will fade out as the next trend becomes popular.
There will be a great surge in the tattoo removal business.

One who clings to an absurd, phoney "ethic" that is wholly unsupported.

"Vegans" are, almost without exception, juvenile, whiny, soppy, clueless urbanites. They ALWAYS start by claiming to live a "cruelty-free" lifestyle, until the horrible flaw in their own claim is pointed out to them; namely, that tens of thousands of animals are killed in producing the supermarket veggies they happily shovel into their big, fat, gaping pie-holes.

"Vegans" then ALWAYS retreat to claiming they somehow cause "less harm" than non-vegans. This is also unsupportable; someone who buys a half of a grass-fed beef (many, many meals for one death) is certainly causing "less harm" than a whiny, drippy "vegan" shoveling supermarket rice into their cake-hole (many deaths for one meal.)

"Veganism" is sanctimonious self-righteousness parading as an "ethic;" the "ethical" claims of "vegans" are recognized as false by anyone with more than three active brain cells. "Vegans" follow no moral principle; only a cheap, easy, and stupid rule: "Don't put animal parts in your mouth."

The animals killed by "vegans" matter to them not at all - NOT AT ALL - as long as they don't have to see the carcasses.

A strange being, composed entirely of vegetables and foliage, their diets consist of much the same.
It thinks itself of a somewhat superior creature but in reality it is no more than a cabbage in desperation to consume meat.

One who, due to a total lack of knowledge eats only plants.

Someone who nibbles on vegitation for sustinance, relies on diet replacement pills and beans to make up for their protein and vitamin deficencies. also does not indulge in any form of lifestyle that has any effect on any living thing other than their own, and will crucify themselves to save bunnies but will cut in line to have an abortion.

Slang for something/someone that is really foolish, or really amazing. A Swank, or Third Level.
