FFT posted:Okay, fine. I just assumed that with franchises like TWD, they used their own term to both avoid monotony (calling everything a Zombie with a type of qualifier) and improve the flow of speech ("we were trailing a group of normal zombies, but then were attacked by a group of the running type"), but also to kind of "brand" their type of zombie to the franchise. If someone mentions Walkers with regards to undead, they're probably talking about TWD as opposed to one of Romero's Zombies.

I took the naming convention that my a buddy of mine using for skeletons in Sea of Thieves and apply it to Zombie movies now. Vanilla Boys, Salad Boys, Shiny Boys, Party Boys, Spooky Boys...

If someone mentions Walkers with regards to undead, they're probably talking about TWD as opposed to one of Romero's Zombies. Traditional slow zombies? Just call them zombies. Call them "walkers" and "runners" and "bounders" and "flyers" and also the various types in LFD when that distinction becomes more useful than a simple "there are zombies over there"

Philippe posted:Okay Windle Poons Windle Poons wasn't technically a zombie - he died but kept on moving around because Death was off having an existential crisis. You're (probably) thinking of Reg Shoe, who ran the Fresh Start Club for new zombies - sorry, differently alive persons - which Poons attended, and had very definite Opinions on the correct language to use when describing them. (I hate that I didn't even have to Google that, to the point that I'd actually be grateful if I'd got it wrong)

People tend to forget that the very first zombie in Night of the Living Dead runs after Barbara, and is even seen chasing her car. (The zombie also uses a tool when he smashes the car window with a rock.)

The only way to be sure that you're correct is to start a fresh read through of the entire Discworld series, then go and read the other Pratchett works as well. It's a tough job, but I guess I'll have to step up and do it.
