We need a decent virol filled racist hate word for elves. Every other meta type has a half decent slur to use except these charismatic bastards.
"Dandalion eater"
Just does not pack a punch, I need something distasteful and crude. Like "Trog!" or "Halfer/Stunty!"
All sugestions welcome let your hate flow:

Keeb: short for keebler, elves find being compared to the cookie makers offensive.

For the more intellectual types, Unseel can be a huge insult.

I prefer "That Sidhe whore" and constant reference in the 3rd person, depsite their presence...

Treehugger.
Not that witty or snappy, but still better (or should I say, worse) than dandelion eater.

Could get confused with a hippy but nice sentiment.

I came up with twiggy. I dunno, theyre tall, thin, and live in trees.
Since theyre all so charismatic, I just go with the assumption that all the men are women and all the women are prostitutes.

Root muncher
Leafbiter
Barkbreath
Overgrown Fairy
Wannabe pixie
Santa's little helper

I may have more later.

My favourit one is 'pixy'. 'fairy' being a fare behind second.

Elves suck!

When the Awakening comes, I will SO kill you with a sympathetic link.

"Tree-humping, grass-eating, twig-up-yer-arse ponce!"

Always to be said in a Groundskeeper Willie voice.

perhaps toymakers, as a reference to being santas elves?

Or Cobblers, comparing them to insignificant shoe making elves of myth.

"Slopes," "Bowies," and "Blooms" have all come up in my games. I like the last one best.

I don't get the first two slurs...

I don't use actual name calling, I just apply that all elves are bisexual sluts, who think of little else...

I know, I´m playing elven characters most of the time

BTW, Trogs and Tuskers suck, too, as do Halfers and Breeders! (and wonderwyrms of course)

They don't have a lot of slurs for the gay pixy brigade because it's just too easy. They're the easiest thing to insult since the rise of communism!

...so as the main topic suggests, then there needs to be something more biting than Pixie or Dandy Eater.

"Keeb" is pretty good, but only if the corp reference still sticks a half century from now.

For Trolls, Orcs and Dwarves (& humans to TT elves) the slurs revolve around physical qualities. So, in that vain since Elves have are supposed to have no body hair I thought maybe "baby butts".

"Keeb" only has to stick around for another five years, after which it can become engrained in popular culture independent of its corporate origins.

...damn, why should it be so hard to come up with a good insult for a Spock Ears?

Faggot—not derived from the current derisive term for homosexuals, but from the fact that they're stick-thin and fit only for burning.

Of course, they haven't been subjected to enough overt violent racism for that one to take hold, I think.

~J

...familiar with that one, but wouldn't it be more likely a part of Britspeak since that is where the original term derives?

Of course, historically speaking, faggot also refers to the bassoon which is rather tall and thin and is classified as a double reed instrument which, in certain instances (such as overblowing), can have the pleasureable sound of somone suffering from flatulence.

..OK, that's a stretch. Hell, I'm trying my best to come up with some kind of vulgar insult to elves.

I like referring to them as "Princess". Doesn't matter if the elf is male or female, they're all so bloody precious. Bunch of fairy bollocking fruit flavoured bloody princesses.

And it annoys the players too.

I like the old-school 'keeb', though I occasionally call them 'Republicans' because of their semi-secret agenda to enslave the proletariat and dominate the world.

I'm gonna have to vote for Bowie, plain and simple. Though "baby butt" made me nearly choke on my Red Bull...

Vulcan?
Daisies,
Lilies,
Mops,
Weeds, I like this one cause you can call a hit on an elf weed-whacking and noone be the wiser.

How about just plain 'Elf' with a derogatory tone to it.

What keeps coming to mind is that traumatic music video with Leonard Nimoy and "hobbits" wearing gigantic elf ears.

It makes me want to call elves "hobbits" and "Nimoy".

All I can think off is Tolks: short for Tolkien and associated fiction.
Or
Perhapes having a bastardized Sperethiel insult that has been taken into common usage as a racist term for elves. eg Morks
Short for morkhan: fornicator of swine.

How about "Sharps" or "Sharpie" reffering to their ears? "Rails" reffering to their being thin. Also I think that any slur used against homo-sexuals would port over well due to the stereotypical elf being effiminate etc...

Maybe going out on a limb but seems to me that the proper application of 'Trog' or 'Tusker' aimed at said elf-to-be-derided could have all the effect you are looking for.

I think "Princess" is the best one so far. The trouble with insulting them based on their physical characteristics is that elves to human eyes look quite beautiful and they actually are superior to humans. As to implying they're all bisexual - it's 2070. Everyone probably is!

You could call them "chopsticks" for that SR1/2 feel, perhaps.

In my campaigns they're referred to as salad shooters.

References the tree-hugging and the pretty boy aspects nicely I think.
