"What is a good PC word for "zombie"?" Topic

"Zombie" is starting to become the "Z-word". It is too pejorative and dismissive, and can hurt zed feelings if used in a nasty way.

I think we need to come up with a new word, or words, for these people that is not hurtful.

I would like to suggest:

1) The Differently Vital

2) Reanimated Formerly Living Americans

Not that I am suggesting AT ALL that the winning term be mandatory for all TMPers. Let your conscience and sensitivity be your guide.

Reanimated Formerly Living Americans

That's a tad nationalistic isn't it? Are you suggesting that other countries can't have Alternatively Animated Human Beings?

Fie sir! Fie!

They are the 'living challenged', and they are now a protected category in society. You can rightfully be reprimanded by your company's Human Capital department for discriminating against them, so just dont do it!

I have heard someone describe the actors in "Zulu" as African Americans…
The PC term for these people is "irony challenged".

BTW, I have been informed by someone of a quickie way to get a 3-day vacation in the DH.
Shall we assume that "political" affiliations are to be assumed by the student as given?

Hollywood Retreads!

Gary can't help it that he's Solanum Positive with an associated brain dependency.

The mobile corpsified?

The only 'sort of' deadzies?

Shotgun targets?

In Charles Stross's Laundryverse the UK governments Secret Occult Service refers to bound zombie servitors as Residual Human Resources.

PC Name for a Zombie????

Anyone worried that a zombie should be offended by the word zombie should have "Zombie Bait" stamped on their foreheads and slowly lowered outside the walls of the compound.

There is no room for that sort of wimpy liberal politically correct thinking in a Post-Zombie Apocalyptic World. Clearly you are spending too much energy and resources that a real zombie hunter could be using. No dented can of soup with label missing for you! Don't come back, one week!

The only good Zombie is a Dead Zombie….er….a Dead Zombie with a big hole in his head….yeah that's it.

According to Shaun of the dead "Mobile Deceased"…

Life Challeged

Not really PC, but do I care, I recall in Land of the Dead they were called Stenchers.

In The Walking Dead they were called Geeks and Skinnies.

Living Impared.

The Respirationally Challenged?

Politically Correct people are Zombies.

Post Living Ambulatory Person. PLAP. Sort of the sound they make when a 12 guage slug impacts them.

Do you want a file in your cake?

Michael Caine's an African American?

He could be.
Charlize Theron claims she is.

This whole topic put me in mind of this Wapsi Square strip from 2007

…and she should know….

Untaxed consumers

Targets! Is that sufficeintly unPC?

Michael Caine's an African American?

Not a lot of people know that.

I figured if I went in I could check to see if Mal left a clue about his current whereabouts…

Living departed or Brainiacs ;)

Bob, we should call them Bob.

Simple and to the point…Oh yea, there is no point to this.
