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.

In all seriousness, if you eat fish, stop saying you're vegetarian. You are a pescatarian. No one will ever learn if you don't tell people what it means - you think everyone magically woke up one day knowing what a vegetarian was? (clearly not since some commenters still don't) In the meantime, i'm sick of being offered fish because people think that's vegetarian, because pescatarians have told them so! For the record, if you eat chicken, there is no term for you, you just don't eat red meat. Simples.

Been a vegetarian for 6 years. Never ate shrimp.

That's PESCATARIANISM... (not eating any meat excluding seafood) ...what a ******* idiot. Tell her to do her research before making any big life decisions, jeez.

It really depends what kind of vegan she is, some vegans won't even touch sea food.

your girlfriend is a dumb ass I have never been an herbivore but my sister has she had to give it up when she joined the Navy so as to pay for college since there wouldn't be a wide selection for things like protein on board a ship but my sister and I always said this if it had a pulse and didn't need help from the wind or water to move back and forth then its not veggie approved so since a shrimp had a pulse and did not need the water to help move its meat

explain to her she is NOT a vegetarian she is a pesitarian... they eat fish but no other meats

When she's not looking, take some of her shrimp

That would be a pescatarian, vegetarians who also eat fish.
