meat

/miːt/

In its primary sense, the word refers to animal tissue as sustenance. While technically inclusive of all animal flesh, in common usage it often excludes fish and seafood, which are categorized separately in culinary contexts. When used metaphorically, it describes the 'substance' or 'core' of an idea. It implies a contrast between superficial fluff (the introduction or packaging) and the dense, valuable information that provides actual utility or weight to a discussion.

🎬Tuesday afternoon, Leo is in his room gaming while David is at the grocery store.

David Smith

Picking up dinner. You still eating meat or did you go full vegan on me?

Leo Smith

chill. i'm not trippin, just get the wings.

💡

David is trying to be 'hip' by questioning Leo's diet, while Leo uses AAVE-influenced slang ('trippin') to tell his father he isn't overreacting or changing his habits, keeping the focus on whether meat (the wings) should be purchased.
