Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg wants his employees to call each other “Metamates” — and the new moniker is sparking widespread mockery, both inside and outside the company.

“Metamates” will replace “Facebookers...

But Twitter commenters said the new nickname sounds like a dating app from the metaverse. Others quipped that it sounded too much like grade school.

“Metamates report to the Metatorium for a Metameeting,” one Twitter user wrote.

One Twitter user joked that they were eating “lunchables with my metamates.”

“Metamates? More like metastases,” quipped another user on social media.

“Sounds like a brand name for a condom,” another Twitter user wrote. (Indeed, Mates happens to be a popular condom brand that’s sold in the United Kingdom.)

One employee on an internal company chat cited by the New York Times wrote: “Does this mean we are on a sinking ship?”
