However, the suggestion to remove phrases from our daily speech isn\u2019t as outlandish as people would like to believe.<\/p>\n<p>There are countless phrases that were once used frequently in our daily speech that we rarely hear anymore or just plainly don\u2019t use at all. Phrases such as \u2018catch you on the flip side\u2019, \u2018don\u2019t have a cow\u2019 and \u2018take a chill pill\u2019 were very popular once upon a time, but to hear someone use them today is quite rare.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"image file-default media-element\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Two Birds One Stone\" data-delta=\"3\" data-fid=\"3849\" data-media-element=\"1\" height=\"411\" src=\"https:\/\/satellite.mmu.ac.uk\/northernquota-old\/sites\/default\/files\/images_0.jpg\" title=\"Killing two birds with one stone\" width=\"562\"><figcaption>Killing two birds with one stone<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Dr Shareena Hamzah of Swansea University, a language expert, has confirmed that these metaphors associated with meat will in fact go out of fashion. She says a rising concern for both animal welfare and the negative effects of meat consumption for the climate will move people to avoid using these meat metaphors and that there will be an inevitable shift in the language we use.<\/p>\n<p>In her article for The Conversation, Hamzah said: &#8220;If veganism forces us to confront the realities of food&#8217;s origins, then this increased awareness will undoubtedly be reflected in our language and our literature.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>However, she highlights the fact that vegans and vegetarians may not want a language shift, as many vegetarian or vegan options are made to simulate the experience of eating meat, giving the example of vegetarian burgers that are made with \u2018beetroot blood\u2019 to feign a bleeding meat burger.<\/p>\n<p>The idea of a language shift may be jarring to some, but in Hamzah\u2019s opinion it may take a long time for the change to come into effect. As well as this, it may be near impossible to fully erase these meat metaphors from our vocabulary.<\/p>\n<p>There are uses of these metaphors in many great literature texts that have spanned over decades and when we continue to read and teach these texts the metaphors will still have a place in our language.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In light of the rise of veganism over the last few years animal rights organisation PETA have released a list of animal friendly idioms to&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1259,"featured_media":2973,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4973,1],"tags":[2568,1447,2567,1448,2566,2563,2564,2565],"class_list":["post-2974","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-features","category-uncategorised","tag-academic-research","tag-english","tag-idioms","tag-language","tag-metaphors","tag-veganism","tag-vegans","tag-vegetarians"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Killing two birds with one stone: Is the English language vegan friendly?
