Lollipop man or lady is what’s its always be known as. It is dignified as people are very grateful to the people who do these jobs and its an affectionate name.
Crossing Guard sounds american, and a bit hostile to be honest. Lollipop man sounds warm and kind, which is also nice for children. The official UK government name is “School Crossing Patrol Officer” - no thanks.
Edit: also Lollipop lady/man is also used in Ireland, Australia and New Zealand apparently.
I guess… to me “Lollipop Man” sounds pejorative. It’s normalized to you, because, as you said, that what you grew up with. The thing my mind immediately connects it to is “Lollipop Guild”, Wizard of Oz. Makes it sound belittling/emasculating to call a grown man that.
Looks like you got scared and tried to remove all the spam downvotes and pretend you didn’t do that… but ooops you missed one. And here this time I’ll cap it too
Just wanna make sure the mod/admin seeing the report gets the full picture here… because it’s insane that you’re going this length, again, because “lollipop man”
acutally, I gotta hand it to you buddy. You actually went through my whole profile and just started to downvote everything. Not even in this thread/community. You got your jimmies in such a twist, you just scrolled my profile downvoting everything… every comment, ever made, in any community, no matter the context…
the list obviously goes on, you get the picture. Are you satisfied buddy? Pretty sure that’s a ToS level violation of toxic vote manipulation. Quite the appropriate response to “that’s a pretty silly name isn’t it?”…
also, to add… all this evidence… and the people upvoting them and downvoting me are just like… endorseing this behavior… That’s also pretty fucking insane… pretty weird yo.
ya know. I’ve never once said where I’m from. Not in this entire thread. You’re guessing. I could be in Canada. Maybe I’m an expat living in the Philippines… Just saying, making a lot of assumptions.

Can confirm, that is correct

That’s you… stalking me in a completely different, unrelated community, blindly downvoting to be toxic…
And this is you pretending none of that happened while continuing to stalk and harass me in completely different communities
