In an appearance on Conan (2010) Robert Kirkman explained why the term zombie is never used in the show: "We wanted to kind of give you a sense that The Walking Dead takes place in a universe where zombie fiction doesn't exist. No one inside The Walking Dead has seen a Romero movie, so they can't get the rules from that. We felt like not having people use that word would separate it from that a little bit, make it a little more clear." Kirkman went on to say that he still refers to it as a zombie show, and that the walkers are referred to as zombies in the scripts, just not in the dialogue. (In the comics, characters have used the term several times).
