/ˌpɛskɪˈtɛəɹi.ən/ · noun
A person who consumes no animal flesh with the exception of fish or seafood..
I'm curious what you do when you encounter a friend, family member, whoever who claims to be a "vegetarian who eats fish". It *really* bothers me when this happens because it contributes to the assumption that I eat fish and I don't, because I am a vegetarian. I feel like it gives all vegetarians a bad name. Do you correct them? Do you not bother? And how do you correct them? I was thinking that saying something like "oh, you mean your^([sic]) a pescetarian" would be ok and give them the appropriate term. Speaking of which, how is "pescetarian" pronounced?
