Another One For You Vegetarians...?!
I do take pride in being called a tree hugger ^.^
What are some nicknames you've been called?
Answers: I get nicknames from everybody, some are funny, but others just piss me off!

My favorite is "tofu fartin' pinko commie fairy".
weird and tree hugger although im an enviormentalist and not a tree hugger
thats cool though good for you
The only thing I've ever been called was 'veggie' and that was by my brother. I didn't let it get to me though, because my brother is homophobic and judgemental therefore I usually just ignore him...
Fat Americans tend to call me " communist"
I have also been told that being Veg*n makes me " un-manly"
my friend said, im on my way on being Hitler- a frustrated painter, non smoking vegan, loves and promotes animal rights. it is funny but its quite morbid LOL!
A couple of girlfriends used to call me "granola cruncher" but I think that was as much a California thing to them (they were from the East coast) as it was a vegetarian thing. They had this idea that Californians were a bunch of hippies dancing barefoot and eating granola (and probably hugging trees.) The fact that I was vegetarian just played into their weird stereotype.
My family is used to it, so I don't get poked fun at. But it's a big deal at work for some strange reason. We get along on all other levels except for the way I eat. I've had people imply things about me that are kind of jumping to conclusions only based on the fact I pass up cheeseburgers. I've been asked if I shave my armpits. A new co-worker asked me where I played softball. I was a little puzzled because I hadn't played softball since 8th grade gym. He said that another co-worker told him to watch out for me because I was "one of those women who play softball." I took that to mean he was stereotyping me a lesbian (I'm straight) and it went over this particular fellow's head. Of course it clicked once he said it out loud and he suddenly "forgot" who it was that made that comment. I guess only hairy armpitted lesbian hippies choose to live by principles in some peoples' eyes. I was more shocked at the ignorance than I was offended.
My boss' boss is a real tool. (I think he has a Napolean complex, I'm 5"3" and still taller than him) One day I was eating dairy yogurt (no gelatin) and he saw me put some raisins in it. He looks at me really smirky and goes "what are you, one of those vegans?" Give this man a dictionary! The same guy referred to me as the "resident liberal hippie" because I offered to take the office paper to the recycling center. Some people are just really insecure and easily threatened! That's ok, because I know he cruises the internet for booty calls, which his wife would not be so happy about! Pig!
