"Pescan" or Pescegan" as a label for those who primarily eat vegan but also include some seafood?!
Which of these two suggestions do you think sounds phonetically and associatively more correct.
Please be respectful and stick to the question.
Thanks : )
Answers: As some rightly pointed out there is currently no term for such a person. I think there should be one without have to say non-lacto non-ovo pescetarian.

i totally agree with you - anyone who eats both meat/seafood and a plant diet is an omnivore, myself included. i've been referred to as a semi-vegan because i eat the occasional seafood but am otherwise a vegan.
as far as what sounds better phonetically, i'd have to say "pescan". unfortunately, it also sounds a bit like the word "pesky". and i can't even get my mouth to work out the other one successfully.
People who eat both plants and animal flesh are omnivores.
Honestly, neither. Pescatarian is the only term besides omnivore that is correct. Neither pescan or pescegan gives a clue that the person is "mostly vegan"
Neither is suitable, we cannot just make up words ad-hoc. They evolve through common usage and formal defintion.
Inventing a word here will not change anything, it'll still be a made up word.
I don't eat Semolina, or rice crackers.
should i start calling myself an anti-semo-rice-pro-vegetarian ?
Where would this end. We would have precisely 40 millions diet definitions.
Words are defined so we can all communicate clearly. It makes no sense to make up a word that will require a long explaination every time its used.

Neither. You can just call them meat eater since if they eat seafood they aren't vegan at all.
