so wrong

[da]

I was just trying to decide what to call dan's and my sort of diet.

"ovo-pisce-vege-tarian?" Eh, way too long.

How about "anything that didn't have nipples?"

Er.

Most people I know in what I think are similar circumstances say "I don't eat mammals."
"ovopiscevegetarion" would imply to me that you don't eat birds (once they are hatched).

Yeah, I was realizing in the car just now that I was missing pollo- and lacto- in the Approved List. And I probably misspelled "pesco."

So, yeah, "I don't eat mammel" is what I usually say. :)

Maybe it's just me, but how about "anything that doesn't have lips".

I'm suggesting this solely for the following contrived conversation:

Other Person: Hey, da_lj, I'm making some chicken a la king for dinner. Would you like some?

da_lj: Does a chicken have lips?

Then you get to watch the other person's expression as they try to figure out if you meant yes or no.
