    @DekaBlack @CowMan @isaactly_s you'd get a sore throat, though, from all the apologising. 🤭

      @isaactly_s Honestly, "garbagefighter" sounds pretty awesome. Way better than "garbage collector" or whatever. Anyway, that term's been coopted by the software industry.

      @StarkRG @isaactly_s, ”bin man” (or “bin fighter”).

        There was some discussion at work about gender neutral language. I told them I always go by this (old) guide.

          @isaactly_s The Australian approach of sticking "-ie" on the end of any job (or indeed sometimes it seems anything resembling a noun) has lots of merits.

          However Spokesperson clearly should be cycle wheelwright.

            @xocolatli @ratsnakegames @isaactly_s and English is very much one of them? Other than the pronouns, which I understand most people in fact prefer to have, and job titles, which are so trivial to fix we're literally in a thread for a meme about it.

            @virtulis @ratsnakegames @isaactly_s English absolutely isn't gender neutral and never was

            By the way, it is also an Indo-European language, like every language in Europe except for Basque, which was of course my point

                @xocolatli @ratsnakegames @isaactly_s and yet I don't need to know the gender of your ass to see that you're speaking out of it.

                If you are so eager to appear clever on the internet, perhaps try fewer obviously incorrect absolute statements 🙂

                  How about "Rubbish Wrangler"? (alliteration is always good)
                  "Bin Tipper"?
