![]() ![]() Used often at the beginning of The Walking Dead, “the infected” has fallen by the wayside in favor of some more creative nicknames in recent seasons. As seasons pass and the number of zombies who are a threat to the survivors fades, perhaps the term “roamer” will be revitalized. Used by the Alexandrians prior to Rick’s arrival, “roamers” is an applicable name for the walkers, especially given the context that many of the Alexandrians saw them in. No matter how brave viewers or characters are when seeing the undead, there’s no denying that they are, in fact, creepy. CreepersĪlthough the name can’t help but remind me of the infamous Minecraft creatures, “creepers” are a great way to describe the zombies. Sometimes simple is better, and that’s why “biters” ranks so highly. What do the walkers do to people when they get a hold of them? They bite.

Whether it was Glenn, Daryl, or Shane, some legendary characters used the word “geeks” to label the zombies, and thus it deserves a place near the top spot. While we haven’t heard this one in a long time on the show, just reading it creates some flashbacks to the show’s beginning and some of the most beloved characters. Even people who haven’t watched the show before have likely heard of the nickname for the undead, and thus it stands at the top of the list.
