The Walking Dead Season 6: 7 Things You Might Have Missed In Episode 14

7. Roamers

Add it to the list. Zombies clearly don't exist in The Walking Dead world, in any form. And as a result of the lack of zombie-culture, it's always interesting to hear new terms used to describe them. This week saw Denise refer the undead as roamers, the latest of many different names for the flesh-eaters.

It would have been easy to keep 'walkers' as a generic name across the board, but it's hardly the first name you'd draw up when faced with a horde of living corpses. Not every group would refer to them as walkers, and it's a neat touch that The Walking Dead acknowledges a whole range of names.

It sounds like the start of a Walking Dead drinking game. One drink for 'walkers', two drinks for 'roamers', finish the bottle for 'rotters'...
