Whats the point of saying lacto-ovo vegetarian when vegetarians already eat eggs and Dairy? Even if your only lacto or only ovo your still a vegetarian.
Because vegetarian used to mean "doesn’t eat any animal products", the term has been basterdized as of late, and people call themselves vegetarian when they eat no Meat. So they made the term vegan in the 80′s to be clear that they eat No animal products, and let the vegetarians argue amongst themselves about what is an animal product and what is not.

Its like saying all vegans are vegetarians, but not all vegetarians are vegan. Lacto and/or ovo vegetarians is like a sub class of vegetarians.

The longer a label, the more distinguished and exclusive a club it sounds.

Some vegetarians don’t eat eggs but will have dairy or some vegetarians don’t eat dairy but will have eggs or some vegetarians don’t eat eggs and dairy or some vegetarians will just drink milk but won’t eat dairy products such as cheese, ice cream, yogurt, cream, butter and won’t eat eggs either!

It’s just an easy way to distinguish between them. If you’re having a dinner party and you know your friend is ovo vegetarian then you know you’re safe to prepare food with eggs in it. Not all vegetarians eat eggs and dairy products.

Good question, as I happen to be one of those lacto-ovo vegetarians. I guess I use this term to declare that I do not eat meat. However, I do believe that anyone eating any animal-derived product (including milk products and eggs) is NOT vegetarian. Vegans are the only real vegetarians.
My eating habits are from the childhood in India, and as you may be aware, many Indians are supposed to be vegetarians. However, even the most pious Indian Hindus consume dairy products, consistent with Lord Krishna’s lifestyle.

In many countries – India especially – if you say ‘vegetarian‘ it’s commonly interpreted as ‘lacto-vegetarian.’
