    Marvelous story, but I find myself unpleased at the grotesque neologism, "meatsmith".

    This kind of rebranding effort for the perfectly descriptive "butcher" is an annoying bullshit-ism, the kind of condescending hipster market-speak that turns people away in disgust at what's otherwise a sensible ethical reinvention of an old trade.

          Yeah, I just got my 11'th anniversary gift and was a bit shocked it'd been that many years.

      Very well put and I entirely agree. There is no reason for it and it very annoying.
