What do we call our undead friends?

Recommended Posts

Just curious really, what do you all tend to call those 'Life-Challenged' denizens of Chenarus? I hear a fair few such as Zed, Z's, Zack (borrowed from World War Z), would be interested to see what other colourful names we've given them ;p

Walkers, runners, crawlers, hoppers, bunnies, zeds, zombies and drunk guys.

walkers crawlers and fucking hoppers LOL

That is actually exactly what I call them aside from the "fucking" part on the last one haha. People who do not speak British English calling zombies 'zed's' drives me up a wall to be honest. It's like an American who spends too much time on a forum with a lot of Western Europeans such as the Steam forums who constantly say 'mate' when it's something they never use ever in their normal lives.

Some cultures and sayings need to stay where they originated from, 'zed' is just the way they say the letter Z if some of you are not familiar with it.

Know a few yanks who use British slang, it just sounds awful. It brings back repressed Dick Van Dyke memories and I despise it.

All I usually hear and personally like to use by myself are... uh... Zeds. And plainly zombies. In some hectic occasions I want to call them by their type, as a walker, runner, crawler... a damn hopper!

Sometimes, my buddy calls them as Rottweilers for a some reason.

Err if anyone is calling them anything other than Deadites you either to young or completely uncultured.

These are undead infected, not possessed people taken over by spirits.....

Zombies, crawlers, and Rocket's change log has gotten me to say monkeys for the ones that hop around. :D

No' date=' it's a fact of reality that not all cultures or things within mesh well with others or have any real transference. Slang or the way things are said should only remain within the cultures they originated from as they have no meaning and make no real sense outside of them.
Deadites.

Also you don't know if they are possessed or not.

Yes I do and you would too if you even bothered reading the synopsis for the game.
A 225 km2 open world post-soviet state and one of the areas hit by a new and presently unknown infection which has wiped out most of the world's population. You are one of the few who have survived and now you must search this new wasteland in order to fight for your life against what is left of the indigenous population, now infected with the disease.

I use 'Zeds' when in a hurry, if I'm spotting them for my crew and have enough time, I'll go into detail and call them shamblers, hoppers, or crawlers. On the rare occasion I'll call them zmobies or zombles.

I have never had to type zombies, or zeds, or z. Just the word bandit, or fucking bandito's!

And where does it say in that "the infected are not possessed"?

Possession is not a disease, it's really as simple as that and doesn't need to be elaborated on any further.
