You think millions of years of being meat consuming omnivores can be so easily put aside in order to be herbivores? No, people will eat meat, always. If you want to stop the realisation of how much unnecessary pain we cause the animals, then all you need is to stop trying to teach people that the pain is unnecessary, because most of those people will believe you but never stop eating it. The eating will happen regardless, you invent the guilt.

@OmniscientWarrior Ah, oui, our masterplan that was developed for centuries to ruin your language has finally worked! HON HON HON HON

[@unterdessen8822]

Are you sure about that? When it comes to livestock, the females are often used for other purposes, before they are slaughtered, so they usually have longer lifespans - like for breeding or producing goods (like cows and hens produce milk and eggs). The males are essentially useless, so they're often killed at an early age, either by being slaughtered or by just being exterminated (this happens to chickens a lot). Male piglets are castrated as babies, because the testosterone would stink up the meat otherwise. Most people don't like that taste. I know that people in France and Belgium eat it anyway, but that's an exception. Maybe you've heard, that boar meat is inedible; but it's actually not. They just have to be prevented from entering puberty.

I like how this one is surprisingly accurate to how the actual words were developed. The animals are named similar to German (their derivative) and the meats are named similar to French(their derivative). The German word for meat is (roughly speaking) Flesh, and the name for the animals meats are just (roughly) Cow Flesh, Swine Flesh etc

[@Zeppongola]

iirc the reason we use different words for the animal and the meat is because back in the day, French (or rather, the ancestor to modern day French) was the language of the rich, who would basically never see farm animals except as food, while the commonfolk who would actually work with the animals and rarely actually ate them themselves spoke Germanic languages. Hence when English developed, "French" words were being used to describe meat, and "German" words the animals.

@@Zeppongola sort of, but it was actually the english words that were used to describe the animals, just old english (or anglo-saxon, which is a germanic language-a language family that a few languages, obv including german, belong to). the french occupied england for a period of time and introduced a ton of french words, as well as changed some spelling to sound more french. a good amount of the reason modern english seems to have so many rules that don’t actually apply to everything is because it’s a mix of a germanic language and a latin language (and a ton of other weird historical contributions but that’s it extremely simplified)

I unironically call bologna by how it's spelled. Did it as a joke with my dad as a kid, and I never went back. lol

[@CyrusKazan]

Fun fact: Baloney isn't how it's pronounced either. It's actually bo-lone-ya, in the same vein as lasagna.

[@Mary_Studios]

That's me a herbs though for me it wasn't so much as a joke as more I never heard anyone say the word I was reading out loud and just thought you said it how it was written.

So funnily enough a lot of the meat in English comes from French words and the animal comes from Anglo-Saxon words like cow versus beef or chicken and poultry because the rich people tended to speak French and had access to the meat but not the animal

[@sugoha_2548]

Aren't "chickens" actually named "hens" when they are still alive? I'm pretty sure chicken is only supposed to refer to the meat and not the animal (even tho a lot of people use it for both)

[@MargaritaOnTheRox]

@@sugoha_2548 No. Hens are female chickens. Roosters or cocks are male chickens. Chicken is just the generic word for the bird either living or dead.

[@CraigyDizzle]

@@sugoha_2548 nah, hen is a female bird and cockerel is a male chicken 👌

Hen and cock are also used for non chicken birds such as guinea fowl and pea fowl.

Hearing Ryan speak french is so weird because it’s actually pretty good !

[@NewfieMan98]

He's from Quebec, Canada. Quebec is the only province in Canada where French is the official language.

[@metrozeegle4985]

@@NewfieMan98 I think french is also an official language in New Brunswick (alongside english, of course). What Quebec have in particular however is that English is NOT an official language there and there is actually laws to limit it's official use... With that said, something like 80% of the population is billingual so in retrospect, it wouldn't surprise me one bit that Ryan is either a francophone with a flawless english or an anglophone who grew up there and learned an excellent french.

In case anyone's curious of the actual etymology of the non-obvious ones: Beef = ultimately comes from "bovine" Hamburger = literally means "native of Hamburg" or "something made in Hamburg" and used to be called "hamburg steak." It's unclear how or whether this connects to the city name at all Filet mignon = literally means "cute cut" or "dainty strip." Bologna = a city from Latin "Bononia," which may mean "fortress" or the name of the Boii people Jerky = Means "dried flesh," from the Incan word "charqui." Hot dog = A joke about whether sausages contained dog meat.

[@XIII_Vanitas]

Bologna is named after the Italian city of Bologna because it's where it originates from. Yes, "Bononia" was its Latin name, but nobody has been calling it that for several hundreds of years.

[@king_halcyon]

Interesting how we eat so much bovine and caprine meat.

[@tylerm6453]

I assumed wiener dog was the original name, but then hot dog caught on over time

[@WinterSo1dier]

Hot dogs originate from Hamburg

[@peterdeckenbach1045]

I thought the last one would be wiener or weenie, which comes from the german name for Vienna (Wien), and is also a slang for.. okay, you probably know it.

[@DevineInnovations]

I have an alternate idea for the origin of "Hot Dog" "What about this thing that's made of like every animal." "It's made of every single animal?" "Ok, maybe not every animal. I'm pretty sure it doesn't have dog in it." "So let's call it 'Dog.'" "You want to name it the one animal it's not?" "Easier than naming it every animal it is."

I am glad you address the egregious spelling of BOLOGNA vs. how we pronounce it. (It really should be called mystery corpse bit paste roll anyway.)

[@17cuzzo]

It’s pronounced right cuz it’s an Italian word

[@waynestrange]

Bologna is named after the Italian city, pronounced “boh-LOH-nya”. The reason we pronounce it “baloney” is because of the southern Italian and east coast Italian-American’s custom of chopping off the last vowel sound in foods. Hence pro-SCIUTT’ or mo-za-RELL’. The same thing happened with bologna.
