I'm in the US too but we still call it mailman around here, personally ive never seen a female mailman, if i did i'd probably call her mail lady.
Postman, I think it may be a UK thing, I've never heard anyone say anything other than postman here even though I have heard people say mailbox, I like my brothers one when he had a brain fart and forgot the word postman, " the dude with all the letters "
I feel like the Yanks mainly say mailman. It's the same with candy and popsicle and weiner.
what does candy and popsicle in your country? And how is wiener a 'yank' thing?
I say "Letter Carrier" because we are just too PC anymore. I grew up calling the person who delivered the mail a Mailman even when it was a woman. I guess pretty soon even woman will be changed to woperson.
Here in the States it's 'Letter Carrier' as we have postal employees of both genders. Mailman vs. Mailwoman, about as hilarious as mailmale vs. malefemale. We MUST stay politically correct. I should know as I was once sued for 'Gender discrimination'. Spent 35 months in & out of Federal court before the case was dropped. So be very velly careful of how you phrase things.
I love how relaxed we are in the UK, a lot of civil service jobs have ridiculous politically correct names but no one ever uses them.
wtf really?? mind to tell me why exactly you were in for "gender discrimination"???
Like actor, I've always accepted mailman to be the person who delivers mail. If the fem libbers object, then fuck 'em (not literally as there's something down right unattractive about them and their attitude towards men).
