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
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?
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.
>garbageman
i prefer the term ‘sanitary engineer’
What about garbage gatherer, trash trucker, rubbish ranger, waste wizard, or other alliterations? (I really like alliterations)
Disposal Dude*
- dude is gender neutral
Yer a waste wizard, Harry!
Why not “gender neutrule”?
Is that too obvious? Is that a rule?
Wofighter
Garbageman is also narrow/outdated imo.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!
I mean, policemen being bootlickers completely breaks the pattern.
Shouldn’t it be minorityfighter?
99%fighter

I guess Femailman isn’t exactly gender neutral but it always makes me laugh
