Full Version: Racist Slang

The Grue Master
Is there a good list of popular racist slang anywhere? I know this request isn't all rainbows and puppy dogs but I'd love a good old fashioned list of hate words for the races/peoples of the Sixth World. Failing a premade list, just spew out your favorites.

IIRC from previous editions:
Trog (toll or ork)
Dandylion eater (elf)
Shorty, Stunty (Dwarf)
Tusker (orc)
Smoothy (human)
Breeder (human)
Pointy-ears (elf)
Halfer (Dwarf)

I'm sure I am missing some.

Elf: Pixie, fairy, keeb (short for Keebler)
Dwarf: Can't think of any in canon, but any sort of "short" jokes would work
Ork/Troll: Trog, tusker, goblin (rare)
Human: Breeder

That's just off the top of my head. Read Tir Tairngire's shadowtalk for a lot of good elf ones as well as Threats Alamos 20,000 section...in fact, just read through any book (especially 1st and 2nd ed) in the shadowtalk section and you'll have some racist posting in the thread.

*EDIT* Can't believe I forgot dandelion eater...also, don't forget "Gaijin" from Japanese to non-Japanese, pale-face and white devil from AmerInds against non-Indians (and yes, they will use this against ANY non-Indian regardless of their ethnicity)
Stahlseele
Human: Pinky.
Non Ork/Troll/Dwarf: Squishy.
Ork: Piggies/Pigface
Any NON HUMAN: Crit(short form for critter)

I seem to recall "grunge" being slang for a stupid ork / troll.

And trolls have been known to call elfs / humans "squish" or "squishy/ies".

Hey let's get creative on this. Because i think a Dwarf would be pissed if he was called "half-a-pound". Around here, the term would be Half-a-Kilo, but wouldn't make much sense in english anyway.

"They come in PINTS?" "Yes. What do they normally come in?" "Gallons."

I called Darren Villiers "Short, stout and ugly".
My troll has been called the devil a lot. he has horns and all. I think you should just be creative, maybe refer to the Night of Rage. And calling an elf a fag, it just feels right. It might not be a racial slur, but damn it, it feels great.

Yeah, but homosexuality isn't the negative thing it used to be.

Especially when it's true in the case of some elves. nyahnyah.gif

No, that's evil, causes cancer, and convinces people to eat babies.
