Why is crab meat called crab meat while fish is called fish? Should there be a term fish meat to differentiate a live fish from the body of a fish meant for eating?

Which is better, perl or tcl? Does using tcl make you ticklish? Is that where it got its name?

Historically, the ancestors of the speakers of English did not eat crab or lobster. In the early American colonies, it was against the law to feed your slaves too much lobster and crab because it was considered cruel (those things were thought of as roaches of the sea).

On the contrary, the idea of having to name the meat and the animal separately in English can be blamed on the French. When the Normans invaded in 1066 (or something), French became the language of government, an to say something like ``I like to eat pig'' fell out of favor in the presence of stupid proto-hipster "ironic" garbage like ``le pork I lyg to le eigg xD''. Eventually all the proto-hipsters were put to the sword when Shakespeare destroyed French and made English the language of culture, but the habit of using separate words was here to stay.
