“Squeegee Men” Become “Squeegee Workers”

AP Headline (reprinted in Washington Times): “Baltimore man charged with shooting 2 squeegee workers.”

I have no comment on the story itself other than that it appears to represent a remarkable string of terrible decisions by every party involved (we have covered similar cases of poor life choices). I do have a comment on the AP’s nomenclature, however. Squeegee workers? When did squeegee men become squeegee workers? I cannot determine whether this is a strange attempt at sex-neutral framing or a new euphemism for people terrorizing innocent motorists in Baltimore. While trying to decide, I remembered that it is the AP we are talking about.

Question: Is it A or is it B?

Answer: Yes.
