    Usage notes

    The meaning "flesh of an animal used as food" is often understood to exclude (l) and other (l). For example, the rules for abstaining from meat in the Roman Catholic Church do not extend to fish; likewise, some people who consider themselves (l)s also eat fish (though the more precise term for such a person is (l)).
