neo-zombie

A term often used synonymously with zombie. However, neo-zombies are not deceased and therefore have the ability to run. These are human beings that have been infected with a virus through a bite or some other means. Infection can take seconds, minutes, or even hours. Once infected, the brain retains base facilities, namely gross motor function. In its near-mindless state, it grasps no remains of emotion, personality, or sensation of pain. These creatures have one interest... to eat human flesh.

Although the running zombie first appears in cinema with "Return of the Living Dead" in 1985, the neo-zombie did not appear until 2002 with "28 Days Later" by means of the Rage Virus.

Other films that feature neo-zombies include:
Dawn of the Dead (2004)
Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004)
DoomsDay (2008)
Zombieland (2009)
So what do you prefer, the classic Romero zombie or the fast neo-zombie?

phone zombie

Someone who walks aimlessly through a grocery store or other public place while talking intently on the phone. Phone zombies are usually clueless about where they're going, who they're blocking, or how stupid they look. Their conversations are usually loud and unimportant, but they don't care.
This phone zombie bitch was jibber-jabbering right in the middle of the frozen food aisle and keeping me from the Jamocha Almond Fudge. So I ran my cart right into her ass. I'm sure I left a bruise, but I don't think she felt it.

Zombie Monkey 

When a movie has an extra bit at the end after the credits.
Named after the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie, (spoiler) when the monkey 'Jack' took a coin from the cursed chest at the very end of the credits.
Make sure to stay after the credits of that new movie, there's a zombie monkey you won't want to miss.

Fiat Zombie 

A specific set of zombies who don't really know what money is but take fiat money system as taken for granted. Zombification starts at an early age and is hardcoded into kids by fiat zombie parents. These zombies think spending is necessary to turn the wheels of economy. They also tend to shop for unnecessary stuff when they have access to money.
My Keynesian economics professor is such a fiat zombie.
