Somewhere outside of Gillette, WY, driving at a rate of about 65 mph I turned to my mother and said, "This isn't my first soy rodeo." She didn't even bat an eyelash at that bizarre figure of speech I'd just offered up to her. It is totally commonplace for me to say strange things like that because it's my own weird way of veganizing our language.
When I first went it veg it never occurred to me that it would impact the way that I spoke.Honestly, at first, I just went on as normal, but it gradually became weird to me. Let's just think about it for a moment:
- This isn't my first rodeo
- Fishing for compliments
- Say cheese
- A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush
- Cheesy
- Running around like a headless chicken
- Grab a bull by the horns
- Got one the line
- Got it in my sights
- Beefing Up
- Egg head
- Milking it
- Cutting the cheese
- And so on....

I think veganizing language is a great since there's more than one way to skin a soy cat. It's a way of turning a soy sow's ear into a soy silk purse.
I could do this all day!
Haha, when I saw today's blog title, I immediately imagined you riding your 8 seconds on a wildly bucking (giant) block of tofu! ;o)
"Cutting the cheese" is something I used to say, now I say "cutting the daiya" and everybody just looks at me as if I have two heads!
I try to veganize my language too but everybody is not on board with me...
