Why not “gender neutrule”?
Is that too obvious? Is that a rule?
Make the term ‘man’ gender neutral and make ‘maleman’ the new word for male humans. Then we can have ‘mailmaleman’.
That’s more or less what it historically was
>garbageman
i prefer the term ‘sanitary engineer’
I prefer poot bioarchitect
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.
autobootlick
They’re just lost call them a cab.
This is clever as fuck and I’m stealing it
Like, as in “Hello Taxi, my wallet’s been stolen”?
Oh god no, do not talk to cops.
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.
I thought a fishmonger just sells fish?
I never thought of it from that angler
Doesn’t a fishmonger sell fish?
Go with fishmangler
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.
That would be the life
One of my favorite Simpsons jokes is when bart refers to the “Fe-mailman” and lisa corrects him with “fe-mail carrier”.

Garbageman is also narrow/outdated imo. Municipal worker is more accurate (but can we still have municipalfighter?)
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?
Bloom County was so great.
Mailman should be fighterfighter
