Omnisocialists

"I'm an omnisocialist." This comment came from a classmate today during science class. You may be thinking, "What in the world is an omnisocialist?" Well... I'm not sure exactly, in fact, I don't think my friend knew either. At least not completely. It was the product of several things: 1: our teacher saying he was antisocial when he was young and 2: a lesson about herbivores, omnivores and carnivores. What this friend was trying to get at was saying he can be antisocial and likes time to himself, but he is also the life of the party kinda guy.
This comment made me wonder. I remember being to the point of tears this summer because almost all my friends were gone and I needed company. I also remember many times when I wanted nothing more than to be completely alone.
So, does this make me an omnisocialist, too? I guess so. :)
I'm also wondering now, are some people herbisocialists and carnisocialist? If so, what do those mean? Carnisocialist makes me think of socialist eating people... And herbisocialist just sounds weird. Anyway, just thought I'd put that out there for you to think about. Enjoy, and of course, comment.

I think an herbisocialist is a vegetarian who has no friends. But I like your post!

Depends on the context then!

Socialism - System in which the government controls business.

Omni - All/Every

All-Socialism OR believing that ALL business should be controlled by government.
