Calm down. You might want to cut down some of the salt too.... your blood pressure must be thru the roof.

Your Michigan explanation is plain wrong. So is that Alice in Wonderland dictionary you're using.

Tripe is and always has been just stomach lining nothing more.

Ok, nice of Syber to blur what I said.

I said IN COMMON USAGE AROUND HERE TRIPE REFERS TO ALL RUBBISH MEAT, and the dictionary has that as an ALTERNATE definition as well.

* ralgith slaps Syber around like a redheaded step child

Actually, I didn't see a single definition that said 'rubbish MEAT', though it did say 'trash or rubbish'.

I'm just saying, when you're talking about meat, tripe specifically means stomach (or I think it's the stomach contents actually). Isn't that basically haggis? We were discussing hotdog ingredients, and Ral said he would not buy hotdogs with 'tripe' in them, because he didn't want to eat the lips and assholes and such. I said, that even hotdogs without tripe, would contain lips and assholes because tripe does not cover those bits of meat.

I'm more concerned about chemicals in the meat than I am about what bits are being used in it.

Just because the official definition of something is one thing does not mean the common usage can't be another. This happens ALL over and you know it. And since when is the Merriam-Websters dictionary Alice in Wonderland? Eh? Eh? Eh? It isn't just limited to meat product rubbish either. The secondary definition is: something considered to be rubbish. At least in the printed version. The online version is worded slighly different.

2 : something poor, worthless, or offensive

So argue semantics all you want. I'll continue to use the word to mean ALL rubbish meat. Thank you.

Yes Bitch.

But I'm still going to use it the way I always have, how else am I going to communicate with the people around here. I've always known the "proper" definition. Oh well. You people make a lot out of nothing and its always good for a laugh.
