    I know a guy that proudly calls himself “vegetarian” and eats fish and shrimp. Like pescatarian is a thing, homie. Why bother pretending? It wouldn’t bug me so much but last time we at at a thing together he was proudly proclaiming to someone that he was vegetarian as he ordered a salmon dish.

      I had a coworker like that! His going away meal was sushi lmao.

      When asked why he didn’t say pescetarian he said he just didn’t like the word (?). Whatever the hell that means. Guess he wanted some kind of vegetarian street cred lol.

        he said he just didn’t like the word (?).

        lol why not just say “I only eat fish and veggies.” Hell, even “fish-etarian” as a made up word is both informative and goofy. Go with that if he wants a fun word!
