A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

Fooman = FooFighter
Excel level autocomplete
woman = wofighter?
They can't all be the same class tho.
Firefighter
Policeranger
Mailmage
Fisherbard
Why do you have to bring race into it?!
/s
So the policeranger has an excuse to shoot the rest of them
So the DM knows what bonuses they have. 😌
eh, fishers are more rangers than police.
Some lotta police is more orc (organized, following orders, and if you see a group of them, just turn back)
Streetman = streetfighter
Idk what's streetman though.
Roadman = Roadfighter
Streetman = Streetfighter
Policeman = Police officer Fireman = Fire officer Repairman = Repair officer Mailman = Mail officer Fisherman = Fisher officer
I'm just saying nobody ever write a song called "Fuck the Fisher Officer..."
Fish officer maybe
Same with Fishfighter, sounds much closer to the truth, and I can't stop imagining a person wrestling with a large tuna or catfish in a shallow water
This is the most boring d&d party. How about:
- firefighter
- policerogue
- mailcleric
- fisherranger
"I cast Detect Dead... Letter."
“This letter is simply addressed to “Johnny” in red crayon.”
casts deduce address
“10225 Arcadia Drive.”

I know this is a joke but I will be pendantic and say there is already a gender neutral word for fisherman, which is fishmonger.
It's sad, the few things one can monger.
War, fish, rumors, cheese, fear, and whores, not much else to be a mongerer-of :(
Fisherman - Fishmonger Mailman - Mailmonger Policeman - Policemonger Fireman - Firemonger
I thought a fishmonger was someone who sells fish at market, not the person who catches them.
Firefighter, pig, courier, fisher
Fishfighter, not fisherfighter. No idea why, just sounds better.
Otherwise no notes
Gun shooty man = warfighter
Hackerfighter
If somebody told me this was how German worked I would believe it so I wonder if the reverse is true
This does not work in German because fighter (Kämpfer) is gendered as male. There's is female version of it though (Kämpferin). We have Feuerwehrmann and Feuerwehrfrau. Correct gendering in German is (I say that as an older a male) a bit complicated and makes the sentences usually mich longer or sound weird.
There was a joke solution to this that I really liked: add a "y" to the end or all gendered words: Feuerwehry, Frisöry, Mitarbeity, Erziehery, Arzty etc.
Monster or Ungeheuer would work too. Feuerwehrmonster.
Degendering ala Phettberg may have started as a humours way toward gender neutral language, but it evolved IMHO into a serious way next to *, :, Innen.
I wasn't aware but I like it. Makes everything sound cute.
In frontend development, it's pretty common to use German to stress test UIs, as it's a commonly used language with a lot of long words. It reveals all sorts of UI issues - text that doesn't wrap properly, buttons that are pushed off the screen, etc.
I don't know German, but I do like the idea of using compound nouns rather than inventing new words.
It's also common to test UIs with Arabic, to test handling of right-to-left languages. At work we have a "fake RTL" language that's English but rendered RTL. It's interesting because everything is flipped - for example, a left-hand sidebar is instead on the right side in RTL languages. Company logo is at top right instead of top left.
You will be happy to know I have confirmed your identity as a Non-Israeli.
Because I used Arabic as an example rather than Hebrew? Or because I'm unfamiliar with RTL languages?
In any case, it's pretty easy to figure out that I'm Aussie :)
