Vegetables are a social construct too.

Afaik, botanically, there is no such thing as a "vegetable". Only fruits. What we perceive as "vegetable" differs between cultures worldwide.

Wait till you find out that some places around the world think fish meat does not count as meat and is vegetarian

Yeah I had a friend from Grenada that told me this one day and I had trouble understanding the reasoning.

Fish is not meat, but it's also not vegetarian

The American Meat Science Association defines meat as red meat (beef, pork, and lamb), poultry, fish/seafood, and meat from other managed species (AMSA, 2017).

Fish, by definition, is meat.

Other simpler definitions around the world sinply say "flesh of an animal". At that point, you're arguing that fish isn't an animal.

those people are morons

The botanical definition is just "edible parts of a plant". The culinary definition however does differs per culture.
