The politically correct term for a postal worker. The old offensive term is “mailman” but “mail” is sexist because it sounds like “male” and “man” is obviously sexist to female or non-binary postal workers.
Female postal worker: “I’m here to bring you your 25 annoying unsolicited Capital One offers for the day! Enjoy tossing these straight in the recycling bin.”
Guy: “Thanks! You’re my favorite mailwoman!”
Female postal worker: “Um...excuse me! Did you say MALE woman? I do not identify as male, you sexist pig.”
Guy: “Heavens to Betsy! How could I be so insensitive? I mean you’re my favorite personperson.”
Female postal worker: “That’s much better.”

Get the personperson mug.In the modern world of female 18-wheeler drivers and "flagger ahead" construction-signs, we can't use "the 'M' word" with regards to our daily paper-media delivery... rather than saying, "We should go look in the mailbox to see if the mailman left us any mail", we need to say instead, "We should to go look in the person-box to see if the person-person left us any person".
