Vegan-Friendly Alternatives to Offensive Phrases
Gone are the days of "bringing home the bacon." Now, to keep the vegans happy, we'll be saying things like: "bringing home the bagels."
If you're sick of the whole PC movement, then this list won't be for you. PETA suggests using these alternative terms that they deemed vegan-friendly and cruelty-free.
Frankly, I'm offended by how lame they are:
- Instead of: "Kill two birds with one stone."
Say: "Feed two birds with one scone." - Instead of: "Take the bull by the horns."
Say: "Take the flower by the thorns." - Instead of: "There's more than one way to skin a cat."
Say: "There's more than one way to peel a potato." - Instead of: "Let the cat out of the bag."
Say: "Spilled the beans." - Instead of: "Be the guinea pig."
Say: “Be the test tube.” - Instead of: "Opened a can of worms."
Say: "Opened Pandora's box." - Instead of: "All your eggs in one basket."
Say: "All your berries in one bowl." - Instead of: "Beating a dead horse."
Say: "Feeding a fed horse."
