A postie is a person who delivers the mail — a friendly, informal word for a or postwoman. You hear it in British and Australian English, in speech more than in stiff writing. The postie came means the mail arrived in someone's hands, not that a box was emptied. Americans do not really use postie; they say mail carrier or . The -ie ending makes the word small and warm, like goalie. This post is mail again, not after. It is kind, not rude, but it is casual: fine with a neighbour, odd in a formal letter to the post office.
郵差(英澳口語;美國不這麼說。台灣正式職稱是郵務士)

- There's the "armchair" critique, which borrows from the "lifestyle anarchist" angle. Basically that posties just spend their time writing essays and polemics and don't do any praxis. This is just a generalization which can often turn out to be false if you step away from the sphere of internet anarchism and actually get to know some posties in person.
