One of my favorite Simpsons jokes is when bart refers to the “Fe-mailman” and lisa corrects him with “fe-mail carrier”.
Surely it’s fish fighter? Fisher fighter should be someone who fights people who are fishing.
The correct term is fishmonger. Like a war monger of fish, playing both sides of the battle for profit.
Doesn’t a fishmonger sell fish?
Go with fishmangler
Fishmongler. Gives us symmetry
I never thought of it from that angler
I thought a fishmonger just sells fish?
should be someone who fights people who are fishing.
So my mom before her and my dad divorced?
We can’t use that, viking-hippiedadfighter is too much of a mouthfull
That would be the life
No, no, a fish fighter would be just a fisher. A fisherman is a fisher fighter according to pure logic. What you are talking about is a fishman, not a fisherman.
Policemen aren’t bootlickers! They wear the boot! Better call them class traitors.
i call them domestic terrorists
I don’t call them at all.
They’re just lost call them a cab.
This is clever as fuck and I’m stealing it
I’ve been waiting 5 years for a good opportunity to use it. Feeling smug af 🤣
5 years well spent!
Like, as in “Hello Taxi, my wallet’s been stolen”?
Oh god no, do not talk to cops.
autobootlick
Gender Neutral Australian terms:
Fireman = Firey
Postman = Postie
Fisherman = Fisho
Policeman = Copper
Spokesman = Bullshitter
Garbageman = Garbo
>garbageman
i prefer the term ‘sanitary engineer’
I prefer poot bioarchitect
What about garbage gatherer, trash trucker, rubbish ranger, waste wizard, or other alliterations? (I really like alliterations)
Yer a waste wizard, Harry!
Disposal Dude*
- dude is gender neutral
Alternate alliterations*
Make the term ‘man’ gender neutral and make ‘maleman’ the new word for male humans. Then we can have ‘mailmaleman’.
but could female humans be called femaleman?
That’s more or less what it historically was
Or just use ‘person’ instead of ‘man’. Then it doesn’t matter if someone is a person or a woperson.
Why not “gender neutrule”?
Is that too obvious? Is that a rule?
seriously it was right there
I mean, policemen being bootlickers completely breaks the pattern.
Shouldn’t it be minorityfighter?
Justicefighter.
You know, they fight justice.
99%fighter
Mailman = Dogfighter
Wofighter
Ottofighter
Afighterda
Tungstfighter in some countries

Harvey birdfighter, lawfighter at law
Garbageman is also narrow/outdated imo. Municipal worker is more accurate (but can we still have municipalfighter?)
Bloom County was so great.
Aww, now I miss this. Our last local paper that printed comics when I was a kid reran bloom county comics after they ended but they stopped when I was maybe 15 or 16.
Municipal worker just means you work for a municipality (i.e. a city/town that has its own local government). Waste management, city hall workers, people that maintain local parks etc could all be municipal workers.
You could call them wastefighters?
I’m on board with wastefighters, somehow it gives me similar vibes to Ghostbusters lol!
Mailman should be fighterfighter
I guess Femailman isn’t exactly gender neutral but it always makes me laugh
Well he’s not wearing iron chainmail.
