Carnipotent: adjective. Powerful in the
ways of meat. There are several ways in which a person can be conceived of as carnipotent. Firstly, one can have a
powerful body, thus wielding great meaty power. Secondly, one can be strongly
in control of one’s own body, by being agile. Thirdly, one can be in control of
another’s body, for example by being a general in an army or by being a mind-controlling
evil genius. Fourthly, one can simply own a lot of meat; a butcher is a
classical example of carnipotence.
The list goes on for ages and ages, but what is important to note is that carnipotence is most frequently
contrasted with herbipotence (power
in the ways of plants) and omnipotence (not
the traditional concept of all-powerfulness, but simply power in the ways of
both meat and plants).
