Is there a word that combines comedy with tragedy and farce?
Heiterverzweiflung. Not a legit German word so much as something a friend and I made up in German class once. "Carefree despair". When life is so fucked that you can't stop laughing.

See, the thing is, they aren't even responsible for fires. They should be called the Water Department.

Fire department, obviously.

"Fire people" sounds unimaginably dumb, fireman is vastly superior (but is still sub-optimal)

'Cause they're hot?
Also, I always thought "frick" meant the same as "frig". Huh. I wondered why my strict mother treated it as a worse swear when I was a wee lad... I always assumed it was just the harsher sound of the word.

Not heard it outside of ClassicHDSonicFan (or whatever his name is), but I seriously doubt its connotations are more inappropriate than masturbation.

Do you not know what a fireperson is? Neither does my spellcheck, which is probably a tool of the patriarchy. /s
firefighter

srsly
I learned that word before learning Fireman. I guess both are just as valid, outside of discussion about gender politics, but whatever.

At least firefighter is an accurate job description.

What if those are fighters who fight with fire like firebenders or flamethrower soldiers.

Obviously, they are either fire-benders/pyrokineticists, or flammenwerfers.

Firefighters.

To add further confusion to the discussion, I've usually written trans* with a hyphen, e.g. 'trans-woman'. This way the words are both compounded and disparate. I don't really have an argument for it, though; I just find it intuitive.
