mailmen
Route-walking postal workers
Mailmen is the plural of mailman—a person who delivers mail to homes and businesses.
The term is giving way to the gender-neutral mail carrier or letter carrier, though mailmen remains common in casual speech: The mailmen in our neighborhood know everyone by name.
