I'm sorry to say that until this moment I was unaware of the vastly important contribution PETA is campaigning to make to our English usage:
No, no, that scaly thing people catch and turn into sticks and eat on Fridays and throw around in the Pike Street Market is not a fish. Psh, you are so behind the times. It's a sea kitten.
I mean, who could ever bludgeon and eat a cuddly little sea kitten?
...
Oh, PETA.

"Who am I? This or the other? Am I one person today, and tomorrow another? Am I both at once? ... Whoever I am, Thou knowest, O God, I am thine." (Dietrich Bonhoeffer, "Prison Poems")

This week I give God a cheer for:
parchment paper, chalkboard paint, free museum weekends, public transportation, online cultural resources, free apps to help you learn non-roman scripts, science experiments, cast iron dutch ovens, cast iron dutch oven lids which double as a skillets, power drills, gallery walls, taco nights with friends, vegetarian cookbooks, apples on sale, the way flowers brighten a room, new curtains, globes, Friday night outings, engineering paper, movie-makers not destroying my favorite book, movie-makers creating something beautiful based on my favorite book, theater pubs, Gutenberg, sunny-yet-freezing weather, new dishtowels, hand-thrown pottery, the golden ratio, secondhand stores, stained glass, and the word "kerfuffle," among other things.

When you were younger, you thought about writing children's books. How about this bedtime story book about Sea Kittens, from our PETA friends?

You missed your calling; you could have written the fifth story in the series! ;-)
