I'm confused...how is "citizen" a bad word? And is "brown bag" referring to lunch or is that some sort of racial slur I haven't heard of?

I agree. We should probably call them Congresspeople all together and congressmen/women appropriate to specific people.

Or we could call them "representatives", since that's invariably whom we're referring to when we say that. "Congresspeople" should technically refer to both houses.



Or we could call them "Members of Congress" or "MCs" for short, analogous to Britain's MPs.

That was actually how George H. W. Bush referred to himself when he was in Congress.
