The word "vegan": Classic or Dud?

It starts out on the right track with the letter "v," but it loses its momentum once the "g" gets thrown in there (what's up with that???)

I never like the word when I was trying to be one.

Ugly word, but not as bad as the girl's name, Tegan. Because, yeah, V's are basically beautiful.

You're telling me.

It lacks the antiquated-office-product grace of the word "vegetarian," and also, they don't get to eat cheese

Wouldn't a resident of Las Vegas be a Las Vegan?

Heard the source of the word was literally the beginning and ending of vegitarian.

Then everyone pronounces it incorrectly. It is yet another word whose common pronunciation runs counter to the standards of English orthography.

Pupinia Stewart has done so much better: All about my incest, A message to Santa Claus

Stevolende: right

In November 1944, Donald Watson called a meeting with five other non-dairy vegetarians, including Elsie Shrigley, to discuss non-dairy vegetarian diets and lifestyles. Though many held similar views at the time, these six pioneers were the first to actively found a new movement - despite opposition. The group felt a new word was required to describe them; something more concise than ‘non-dairy vegetarians’. Rejected words included ‘dairyban’, ‘vitan’, and ‘benevore’. They settled on ‘vegan’, containing the first three and last two letters of ‘vegetarian’. In the words of Donald Watson, it marked “the beginning and end of vegetarian.”

imho a couple of Pupinia's better videos are REACTING TO HAPPY TREE FRIENDS and my pedo friend. her shrieky/teary shtick is kinda old at this point, and she's funnier when she's preaching to the converted (mainly reddit/4chan/imgur types, unfortunately) than when she's trolling randoms.

also imho it's offensive for people to self-identify as vegan unless they are inhabitants of planets orbiting the star Vega
