It Is Too A Word!

So, the folks at Merriam-Webster have added a passel of new words to the dictionary. I'm pleased to see fanboy is now an official word. My other favorite from the list is pescatarian, which is vegetarian who eats fish. Is there really a need for a word for this? Aren't vegetarians who eat fish simply not vegetarians?

  1. When you put it that way ("a vegetarian who eats fish"), it seems needless. But when you say, "someone who doesn't eat beef, chicken, pork, lamb, etc.," it seems more useful.
