Is that bad? I love almond milk but I feel like it deserves its own word. :P

Yes, it’s the rallying call of the dairy industry lobbyists trying to force ownership of a word and to hurt the sales of non-dairy milks.

Milk has referred to all manner of white thick drinking liquids for at least 800 years now, it is not solely the domain of animals.

I agree, we need more words. We lose words all the time, too, due to assumptive abuse.
