By not even getting any of her shrimp - 11/02/2014 21:50 - United States - Draper

Today, I took my girlfriend out to a vegetarian-friendly restaurant. She ordered shrimp fettuccine, and I asked why. She slowly explained to me that vegetarians can eat shrimp, then muttered that she now knows who has the brains in our relationship. FML

It's ok OP. You obviously have a brain or else you wouldn't have been able to post this.

The word she was looking for was pescatarian (the term for someone who eats fish meat but not any other kind of meat). So she was stupid to be arrogant in the first place, and doubly so for getting the term wrong.

I guess she confused vegetarian with pescetarian? Still, she sounds like a bitch and she doesn't even know her terminology. Good for you for trying to be a good BF tho OP, fyl!

She would live forever in a zombie apocalypse.... Think about it.

There aren't different types of vegetarians, there are different types of people who refer to themselves as vegetarians. Vegetarians, by definition, don't eat any kind of meat. Some eat eggs/other dairy products, but the key concept of vegetarianism is not eating ANY meat. There are definitely people that call themselves vegetarians but do eat chicken and/or seafood -- but they're not really vegetarians. Calling yourself something doesn't make it true, unfortunately. I keep saying I'm Beyonce but alas, no luck :(

Oh my gosh I'm so sorry I accidentally clicked thumbs down instead of up and it won't let me fix it :/

That is actually a pescitarian so she is also wrong

Remember this though. Do you want to be right or do you want to be happy?

How about having a partner who doesn't insult you when her incorrect statement leads to confusion.

I agree, if you're insulted by your partner every time you disagree with them, are you really happy with that person?

True. I guess he could be both by getting a new girlfriend

No, a lot of pescetarians call themselves vegetarians.

Eh, that's one of the categories of 'soft' vegetarianism. If she were vegan, though, that would be a whole 'nother story.
