Ok I'm the kind of person who mostly avoids dairy and eggs. I have a feeling there's more people like me out there. I know there's some people like that on here.
I'm so convinced we need our own term because we don't really fit the vegan or vegetarian term, I've seen veganish used but...I don't like that.
I've tended to go with semi- vegan so far.
So I never buy any dairy or eggs, but then I sometimes eat things that have small amounts of dairy or eggs in them. Other people call me a vegan, but I hesitate to do so out of respect of not ruining the term like the fish and chicken eating "vegetarians" have done. In my mind, sometimes or small amounts is just not being being a real vegan, just as if you sometimes eat fish or chicken even in small amounts, you are not vegetarian.
Calling myself a vegetarian is akward,though it fits technically because I do basically avoid dairy and eggs. It becomes confusing for other people if I call myself that...because then things like scrambled eggs would be just fine for me.
