A zombie is an undead corpse, typically devoid of a soul and with no free will, originating from Voodoo beliefs. In the Fallout World, the term generally refers to Ghouls, who very much resemble corpses, often as a derogatory term.
The first appearance of the word in Fallout was when it was used by Set's ghoul gangsters to refer to themselves[1], and was pejoratively used towards Children of the Cathedral cultists[2][3].
In Fallout 2, the Chosen One can call Wooz a zombie, which appears to deeply offend him[4].
In Fallout 3, most ghouls are very offended by the term. It is commonly used by the bigots who live at Tenpenny Tower, and calling Roy Phillips or Mister Crowley a zombie may lead them to attack you. Mister Crowley will hire you to kill supposed ghoul bigots by shooting them in the head like they do in old zombie movies.
