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.

Vegitarian scant have meat which includes fish and poultry. She has it confused with Pescetarianism I guess.

She is definitely in the wrong. vegetarians don't eat meat at all. Beef, Ham or fish. None.

OBVIOUSLY Shrimp isn't really meat because the crustaceon isn't cute and cuddly so it's not really an animal. -Op's girlfriend

Because fish and sea creatures are certainly not animals! Its not like they move like animals.. Breathe like animals.. Know danger like animals.. Eat like animals.. Have organs like animals.. Move like animals.. Die like animals..

Definition, look it up folks: vegetarian, vegan, ovo-lacto vegetarian, pescaterian... vegan=no animals Technically she's a pescaterian if she eats only fish and shellfish as her primary protein source. It's still a style of vegetarianism.

Nope. Pescatarianism isn't a "type" of anything. It's pescatarianism.

Most vegetarians I know eat fish. Anyway, give her a break. She can eat whatever she wants to.

Those friends of yours aren't vegetarian. That's pescatarianism, not vegetarianism.

Then she's not a vegetarian, she's a pescetarian. Almost the same thing but seafood is in the diet. To be fair, not many people know what pescetarian means. Thought in her case, she's just ignorant.

These comments make me furious. By half of all you commenters' logic, I can call myself a vegan... Just, a vegan who still eats steak, chicken, eggs, milk, and cheese. Finally! I can have the title of vegan. ******* stupid.
