Apparently fisherpeople is now a word and according to BBC replaces fisherman:-

Is this the same as a Fish Wife? If so I have one.

People of Fish?

[Digga]

Are pescatarians fisherpeople with dreadlocks?

I like Mr Deas's suggestion:
“If anyone feels the need to change the nomenclature, that’s easily resolved. In North East Scotland, where I’m from, they refer to ‘fishers’."

Seems a much easier solution and easier to say!

[crankedup]

Easily resolved, all jobs titles should remove the ‘ men’ and use ‘mon’. Fishermen now is fishermon. ‘Mon’ being the description used for both men and women or should that be women and men.

The fact it is even being discussed makes me sad.

People wonder why some people think the BBC are in their own little world.

Nail on head!!!!

Surprised the hand-wringing, lentil-munching vegan BBC isn't calling them the Fish Killers.

Anyone remember Steve Perryperson? He used to play for Tottenham.

Load of pollocks. No plaice for this in the dictionary. BBC should just clam up and stop s-pouting this carp.

I suspect she doesn't work on the trawlers much. I'd call her a manager rather than a fisher'person'.
