"While the term "zombie" does exist within The Walking Dead universe, it is seldom used. In the comic book, when Rick's group discover the prison, both Rick and Tyreese discuss how it still sounds funny to use the word "zombie.""
Probably like Shaun of the Dead. They're not using the Z word.. because it's ridiculous! The thing is though that zombies in any form of media existed in either the "of the Dead" series or The Walking Dead so they've got nothing to base it on. The only "zombies" they've heard of are the haitian use.
I think a walker name should be short, like... one-syllable short. It's more efficient to bark out a quick name than it is to stand there for the next 20 minutes reciting the 'oh-so-hilarious' name you came up with.
The Walking Dead has called them many things over the years, including: Walkers, Roamers, Lurkers, Biters, Lame-brains, Geeks, Monsters, Meat Puppets, Empties, Deadie, Creepers, Eaters, Ghouls, Goons, Decays, Stinkers or the Infected. Theres others I'm sure.
If they existed in our universe, I'd call them zombies, because they're zombies.

Carvers.
Who cares, he is still alive isn't he?
As an avid lover of all things potatoes I disprove of this.
Why derogatory terms in the first place ? Check your living privilege, cis-life scum

Here's my ones:
-Guys
-Freakazoids (Zoids/Freaks for short)
-Bubs
-Dead (kinda obvious, but why not?)
-Snappers (Snaps for short)
-and finally: Gorms
