I didn't have to explain it, but I found myself in a situation where I was informing a grown woman that fish are indeed animals.

    Oh, that reminds me of when I had to explain to my mother that my then girlfriend was vegetarian and that, no, chicken do count as meat.

    That sounds like a vestige from the Catholic habit of not eating meat at times, so the definition of "what's meat" got really specific and excluded things like fish and chicken.
