Line 326:
* Lampshaded in ''[http://deadmetaphor.comicdish.com Dead Metaphor]'', a 'zombie comedy' webcomic. People call the undead 'zombies', but it's considered a politically-incorrect term, on par with calling someone a retard.
* Sort of discussed in ''[[El Goonish Shive (Webcomic)|El Goonish Shive]]'':
{{quote| '''[http://www.egscomics.com/?date{{=}}2010-05-21 Susan]:''' You know what? Screw it. It was a vampire. [...] Not really, but it was a monster that used to be human, hypnotized young women, and sucked blood out of their necks. It doesn't matter what I say. You two are going to hear ''"vampire"''.}}
* Very, very much averted in ''[[Zombie Ranch]]''. Not only does the [[Show Within a Show|in-universe show]] have the same title as the comic, the characters are constantly referring to the zombies as zombies. Justified by it being over twenty years since the dead first started to walk. There's no denying their everyday existence, so why make up new words?
