no.

this is our preferred nomenclature where i work instead of 'employee'. i hear this extensively and dont see the humor in it.

moist; now thats a funny word.

Where's the "funny" part?

Comrade

You seem very easily amused.

When we have to reference one of my psych patients in another patients chart, we can't use names or any other identifiable information, so we refer to them as "a peer." So for instance "pt observed interacting appropriately with their peers this shift" (a reassuring sign of good mental health) or "pt had a physical altercation with a peer in which they were struck on the head and chest" (bad, obvs).

This post was reported for being offensive. Its hard to know what is offensive to all groups of people. "Colleague" is a pretty innocuous term and "twink" seems to be context dependent. It doesn't seem obviously derogatory in this context, "you see some dude" feels similar. I won't take action for now. I'm very open to feedback, being wrong, and learning. Thanks all.

Oh my god, they're colleagues...
