Don't call us "Undead"

Undead.

I hate that word.

It’s demeaning and it makes all us Zombies out to be boogie people, or some kind of monsters. What about the monsters in the real world? What about the real boogie people? What do you call them?

Honestly, look at the facts. Being dead means you are not alive, right? So then technically being “undead” means I am alive. That makes more sense to me. We were literally born again. I know Christianity has already taken that phrase, but let’s be clear, we may use that phrase but this isn’t a spiritual re-birth. Yes I will never disagree and say we were not dead, believe me I remember dying, it wasn’t fun. But for the sake of political correctness, please allow us the dignity of being born anew, or re-alive or even pre-lived. I’m not the smartest one of the bunch, I’m just making suggestions here. I leave it up to you to decide a better descriptive name.

But please for the sake of all of us who are trying to live normal lives, please do not call us “undead”.
