     [ "vegetarian" ]

    1: Someone who does not eat meat. This includes fish and poultry, although some people claim to be 'modified vegetarians' and will eat these. Not to be confused with a vegan, who is someone who, in addition to meat, avoids milk, eggs, and the like.

      * e.g.,  ... 'My vegetarian friend likes chocolate milk, but my vegan friend will only drink soymilk.' 

     [ "vegetarian" ]

    1: A bad hunter. Someone who survives by consuming not food, but the stuff that food eats.

      * e.g.,  ... The vegetarian was forced to subsist on slower prey, such as the broccoli and carrot. 

     [ "vegetarian" ]

    1: Techinically a person who eats no meat or dead animal products. Some choose so for ethical reasons while others may simply be grossed out by the prospect of eating flesh. Despite claims to the contrary, most vegetarians are not elitist or prejudiced. Another false argument also includes that eating only plant matter kills more rodents, etc which it doesn't. In order to eat beef for instance, it takes far more energy and resources to grow food for them (as opposed to eating it directly) and then killing the cows on top of it. There've been many proposals for third world countries to focus on farming as opposed to ranching because, if done properly, it takes far less resources and land space. Another common argument is that it "destroys your body" which is blatantly false. It's actually very easy to get sufficient amounts of protein as well as other nutritional necesseties. While in the past it may have been necessary to eat animals to get by, many argue that it no longer is. Our canines are a "left over" so to speak of our evolution in the past.

      * e.g.,  ... I've been a vegetarian for years, since I was 1 The rest of my family has always eaten meat but I (like most others) don't hold it against them. But you can't convince the morons of that. 


     [ "vegetarian" ]

    2: Despite all this, and despite that most vegetarians are non-judgmental and aren't affiliated with PETA in anyway, many get a good dose of humor out of bashing them. Presumably because the concept of not eating meat challenges their manhood and they need to defend their metaphorical dick size.

      * e.g.,  ... *at dinner with a group of people* 

     [ "vegetarian" ]

    1: a vegetarian is one who, for various reasons, chooses that the eating of flesh is unnessasary for survival. recently, many people claim to be vegetarian, but still eat fish, and/or chicken, and/or turkey. this is not a vegetarian. vegetarian is often confused with vegan. veganism is when someone does not eat any animal, or animal products(i.e. eggs, milk, cheese, etc)

      * e.g.,  ... i have been a vegetarian since i was 16, and these are examples of conversations i have since i first became one: 

     [ "vegetarian" ]

    1: One who lives in the land of Vegetaria. Often confused as the definition of a person who doesn't eat meat, but that's only because most Vegetarians don't eat meat, either.

      * e.g.,  ... Person 1: Hey, do you want some steak? 

     [ "vegetarian" ]

    1: Often synonymous with herbivore or plant-eater. A person who does not eat parts of dead animals. Vegetarians correctly do not make a distinction between "red meat" and "not red meat", and as such do not consume any kind of seafood or poultry. Some people who seek to put forward a stoic, ascetic or progressive image may claim to be vegetarian while still eating fish or birds. These poseurs often give themselves the oxymoronic label of "pecso-vegetarians". The reasons for abstaining from animal flesh are typically, ethical, religious, ecological, health-related or economic. Vegetarians who also shun animal products such as milk, eggs and honey are called vegans (VEE- GEHNS). Ethical/environmental vegetarians and vegans also often avoid animal-derived goods such as leather, tallow in soaps, etc.

      * e.g.,  ... When Bill found out that a meat-based diet uses more resources and causes more pollution than a plant-based diet, he went vegetarian. 

     [ "vegetarian" ]

      * e.g.,  ... The vegetarian continued peeling the banana, despite it's blood-curdling screams of pain and horror. 

     [ "vegetarian" ]

    1: A person who chooses not to eat beef, pork, chicken, fish or other meats. Usually for ethical, religious, or health reasons.

      * e.g.,  ... Person A: I'm a vegetarian and I eat fish...
