Those look like meat cleavers mom's got for hands. I can empathize with the litle ones in this case. I mean, if it's true and all, that you're like a Edward Scissorhands or somethin'. Poor kids must be so confused.

I definitely thought you meant carnivore or a meathead. What? I'm a huge All in the Family fan.

At least you didn't get called Cheez Whiz Chwist

And here I thought it was someone who ate meat, and I was so ready to call my husband one.

You had me confused too. I was expecting an anti-PETA rant. Semi-disappointed since I always enjoy a good anti-PETA rant.

I often wonder if this is the etymology of a large number of words in the English language.

We have more than most languages, by an order of magnitude. And so many of them are just slightly different from another one. Child's play, most likely.

MommaKiss said...

I think I'd frame the art associated w/ the word. That's a keeper right there.

Suzy said...

Meatiac? No. Crazy? Yes.

I once witnessed two 4 year old passionately calling one another "NEW YORK HEAD!!!" I am pretty sure it was also an insult.

There's a big X through you. Look out, you're on somebody's hit list.

dizzblnd said...

Btw.,.. @annsrants that was a DIFFERENT one "Jennifer Slept Here" Damn woman you are making me feel old here!

lisa said...

At least you don't have mad cow disease - you know, from the Meat(iac).

KMcJoseph said...

That's better than any of my drawings.

Heidi said...

You look like an angel meatiat!
Strange, we have the same unnecessary pants enforcement at the dinner table too. Also the keep the hands out of the pants rule too.

Comedy Goddess said...

Nothing satisfies like real Meatiac.

My six year old calls grilled pork loin "pig breast." I'm sure Mister and I are meatiacs in his book. If we say something he doesn't like, that means we're "liars."

ladyfi said...

I'm mean and the ugliest mom in town! I think I prefer to be called a meatiac!

On the plus side of speech delays....

I like meatiac. I totally think it will catch on.

My BFF's kid was learning to ride a bike and it was time to go home but he didn't want to ride the bike, he wanted HER to push the bike while he walked, for whatever reason (I don't know, he was like 5 so of course none of it made any sense). Anyway, he threw this big fit when she told him he had to take the bike home himself, HUGE tantrum at the park, she was embarrassed but held her ground. Finally he gave up, jumped on the bike, then started pedaling toward home as fast as he could, leaving her in his dust. And over his shoulder, he shouted-- "SO LONG, MEANIE!!"

I love this story. Meanie. Awesome. I can't wait for my kid to be old enough to call me a meanie or meatiac or whatever new thing he comes up with. It's like a badge of honor or something.
