Different name for Omnivores

[Snowcone]

I just call them chumpkins. Ya know, like a chump shaped like a pumpkin.

I would say practicing omnivore then, with the understanding that if someone is veg*n it means they don't practice omnivorism (is that a word?) but rather they practice veg*nism.
But I like IS's non-vegetarian or non-vegan.

I like your term "practicing omnivore" while not technically correct* it still works without causing any confusion as to the meaning. Sadly I think it's likely too large a term to gain wide use.



*You can't actually practice omnivorism (no it isn't a real word) as being an omnivore is a state of being. Like being a human. You can't make the choice not to be a human, you were born into that state.
Omnivore is a scientific term and being omnivorous means you can (not do) eat and digest both vegetable and meat.

Chumpkins it is.

I like Omni because its short and its not confusing to use… I am sorry.

I agree with this. It is a good, functional word.

But then again

As I've said before, Vegetarians are Omnivores, therefore it is a misleading and incorrect usage. And using it can only confuse those that aren't familiar with this misuse.

I think you need to consider WHY a bunch of one legged people looking for a new word for two legged people is silly, DK.

In the meantime, and purely for fun, here's some suggestions for possible words ..

Dietarily unevolved

Corpse based cuisinists

Carrion Crunchers

Corpse composters

Mammal Munchers

Death diners

Edibly unenlightened

Compassionately curtailed

Kamikaze Kama-ists

Post mortem masticators

Gravey Yardies

Cadaver larders

Fish'n'flesh'n'foul bowels

And whilst thinking that lot up the slogan "Vegetarian; Indian word for lousy hunter" came to my mind.

"Omni; Veg*an word for confused cannibal"

But in this case the one legged people are referring to the two legged people as "humans" and then expecting everyone to understand that they don't include themselves within that term.


Your name suggestions, while catchy, are just a hair's breath more contentious than I believe most of us would aim for.

This is as silly as a bunch of one legged men arguing that we need a new word (other than biped) for two legged people.

Yeah, heaven forbid that we should ever risk mildly offending the wildly offensive.

 

[Freesia]

I still vote for "chumpkin". Or "omni".

Chumpkin breath!

Clueless..... sigh.....

You still don't seem to understand the term omnivorous and how it relates to us. I'll try again.


All human beings are omnivores.
Being omnivorous has nothing to do with what they eat.

It has to do with what they COULD eat and derive sustenance from.
You have no choice in whether or not you are an omnivore, your diet choice has no connection with your being one, you are one because of your digestive track.

This mean ALL VEGETARIANS are Omnivores.

We need a different term because we are trying to denote that we are a different group than the meat/veg eaters, who are ALSO omnivores.

And the trick, m'matey, is in the use of a term which is redundant, due to it being a default, as the denoter.

One example follows. It's not the strongest example, mind. It only has one leg to stand on ..

Being bipedal is the default human condition.

People with two legs thus don't refer to each other as bipeds any more than they refer to each other as 'two eyed' or 'one headed' or 'warm blooded'.

For that reason when an individual/group does refer to other individual/groups as 'bipeds' it does denote that they are, or see themselves, as being outside of that default condition.

I.e. If a person calls you a biped/one headed/two eyed/whatever and that doesn't flag you up to check how many legs/heads/eyes/whatever they have before replying then it is you, not they, who is being a bit of a muppet.

Chumpkin breath!

It's nearly Friday so I'm casting my vote with Mr Crunchy.

I still prefer the term 'muddy minded meat eating b'stards' though.

The next time someone describes themselves as a carnivore, I will watch for the next time I see them eat salad (I mostly sit to eat with co-workers, they are all meat eaters and most of them end up eating salad at some point). Then I'll say with a smile: "I thought you said you were a carnivore."

Minds me of an ambush that sadly never happened, Mel.

Anne Chovies oafish son in law unwisely declared that he "weren't going to be eating no vegan sh*t" at the Chovie's Christmas dinner.

Always eager to be helpfull I planned to assist said oaf by forcibly confiscating any potatoes, cranberry sauce, vegetables, stuffing and any other vegan-sh*t that he tried to put on his plate whatsoever.

LOL! I almost spit out the bits of my vegan-sh*t apple!

So what your saying is that we (vegetarians) by using the term omnivore are trying to say that we're other than human, as all humans are omnivores?

I'm saying that we should have a separate term for them that doesn't by definition include us. So that when we say something outside of the vegetarian community (or to new members) about meat/veg eaters we aren't confusing them (or sounding like uneducated idiots to those that know what the term omnivore means).

Chumpkin.
