In Real Life, any time one group of people has animosity for another, they'll come up with mocking or degrading terms for the targets of their disdain. So it's no surprise that in fantasy conflicts, such as humans treating sentient robots as second-class citizens, Elves vs. Dwarves, Fur Against Fang, etc, many fantastic racists, classists, and the like have a wide vocabulary of fictional slurs to use against robots, vampires, etc. It can be very Does This Remind You of Anything? at times. Subtropes include the following: Call a Human a "Meatbag": When a robot, Energy Being, or some other manner of non-fleshy entity insults humans (or some other kind of fleshy living beings in general) over their fleshy nature. Son of an Ape: Slurs based on the fact that humans are apes from a taxonomic POV are widely used by all sorts of aliens, demons, and celestial beings. When this happens during times of war or other armed conflict, see Nicknaming the Enemy. Compare Pardon My Klingon. |

He's not the only one, since both his soldiers and his brother Cooler's men refer to Saiyans as monkeys and apes. In the dub of Dragon Ball Z: Cooler's Revenge, Sauzer (The Dragon), reacted to genocide of Saiyans by saying "there goes the monkey farm" in a derogatory tone. Hell, it even extends outside the space guys, as in Dragon Ball Xenoverse, Demon God Demigra, during his Villainous Breakdown, will refer to a Saiyan Player Character as "monkey brute". It does kinda make you feel sorry for the Saiyans. They are jerks, but everybody in their universe and beyond treats them like dirt. | |

Who Censored Roger Rabbit?: The now ubiquitous term Toon started out as a slur term for cartoon characters in the novel. (Note the similarity between slurs like coon or cohn) The movie adaptation Who Framed Roger Rabbit still uses it in this sense, although not as blatantly. “Barnyard� is used as a slur for non-humanoid toons specifically, and is used even by humanoid toons. | |

In the Hoka story "Joy in Mudville", a reptilian alien calls the protagonist a "slimeless conformation of boned flesh", provoking him to reflect that nonhumanoid insults are seldom meaningful to humanoids (and presumably vice versa). "It did not offend him at all to be told he was slimeless." | |

Conservative dwarfs call those dwarfs who dare to openly show signs of femininity "Ha'ak". No translation is given, but it's very clearly not a nice word (the target's troll friend threatened to kill the offender if he heard it used again). It turns out later it's not just an insult for the openly feminine, or conservative vs. liberal: a rather progressive dwarf says it to an arch-conservative adversary in Thud!. Other slurs referring to those showing undwarfly conduct include "Dr'zka" and "D'hrarak". The former means you have a lax approach to dwarfish behaviour and such; the latter means an exile who has been cast out of dwarf society by the Low King. | |

There's a fair bit of prejudice against the fruits of cross-kinded couplings in Shadows of the Apt (though people have no trouble with the couplings themselves), derogatory terms include "halfway" and "piebald". "Halfbreed" is occasionally used with some venom, too, although it seems to be the generally-accepted term. | |

Annals of the Western Shore In Gifts, the word "calluc" is used by uplands folk for lowlanders. Melle, Orrec's lowlander mother, is called this a few times, but he never uses the word himself until he meets another lowlander named Emmon. "Sheep-hair" for Alds in Voices, since they generally have big blond afros. Half-Alds like Memer get it too. |

The Dragon Age series has a whole mess of them, some of which pop up with every new game or book, as befitting of a Crapsack World with a whole load of Fantastic Racism: Humans frequently call elves by the term "knife-ears." A less harsh but nonethless racist insult used in The Masked Empire is "rabbit." The forest-dwelling Dalish elves call humans "shemlen", which is an old Elvish word for "quick children", while city elves will often use the shortened "shem". Likewise, the Dalish call city-living elves "flat-ears." The city elves also call elves who have attempted to integrate into human society "flat-ears". A common dwarven insult in Orzammar and among surface dwarves is "duster." This refers to the inhabitants of Dust Town, a district of Orzammar inhabited by the casteless dwarves, who are the bottom rung of dwarven society. "Brand" is also a common insult, referring to the brands that every casteless dwarf has on their face. Meanwhile, dwarves of the Warrior Caste get the slur "sword-caste" a few times, which seems to imply that they're nothing but Dumb Muscle. Templars in Dragon Age II often refer to mages as "robes" or "freaks." ("Get the freak first!" is one of their favorite bits of Enemy Chatter.) For their part, some blood mages refer to non-mages derogatorily as "mundanes": "Kill the mundane!" A common slur for Fereldans by other nations is "dog lords", a jab at the fact that Fereldans love their mabari hounds. In fact the Fereldans are often more upset about the implied insult to their dogs than anything. Orlesian nobles will also use "turnip" as a slur against Fereldans. A common slur against qunari is to call them "ox-men." Likewise, the qunari word for all other races who have not been converted to the Qun is "bas," which essentially translates to "thing, " though it is less a case of "It" Is Dehumanizing and more that "bas" is a catch-all term for anyone or anything considered foreign to qunari culture. Qunari will also refer to mages as "saarebas" (lit. "dangerous thing"), demonstrating their natural fear of magic, which they see as uncontrollable and too dangerous to allow mages of any sort to walk free. Foreign mages even get the special term "bas-saarebas" which translates out to "foreign, dangerous thing", and are often responded to with extreme suspicion if not outright hostility. In Dragon Age: Inquisition, the Iron Bull often refers to people from the Tevinter Imperium as "vints." He is the only one heard using this term, however. |

X-Men: Mutants are referred to as "muties". Genoshans coin the term "genejoke". "Flatscan" (presumably a mutant detector with an oscilloscope interface would remain a flat line) and (evolutionary) "dead end" are the derogatory terms for regular humans from the mutant POV. Age of X: In the shared hallucination thingy, mutants refer to humans as "preaks". Because they are what came before. Age of X-Man: "Retrograde" is a slur for people who believe in romance and sex. As Nate was grown in a test tube and had some unfortunate relationships, his perfect world is one where everyone is grown in test tubes and nobody has relationships. House of M: In the comic's Alternate Continuity, where mutants are the ruling class and humans are the persecuted minority, humans are referred to as "sapes"(short for sapiens). In one of the tie-ins, Luke Cage occasionally calls other humans "sapien" in a similar manner to a black person using the N-word. New X-Men: Stuff, a shapeshifting member of the Shi'ar Imperial Guard, is reprimanded by a colleague for using the slur "solid-oids" against non-shapeshifters; apparently this sort of bigotry is common enough where they come from that there's even a term for it — "morphism." |

Fire Emblem: Fire Emblem Fates had the otherwise benevolent and peaceful kingdom of Hoshido decry the people of their darker rival kingdom Nohr as "Nohrian scum" for invading their country and causing the death of their queen, as a sign that they're not just some perfectly pacifistic kingdom, when they're slighted, 'bad habits' start to show. Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance/Radiant Dawn deserves mention for coming up with the most blatant Fantastic Slur ever. Some beorc (humans) actually refer to the laguz (shapeshifting animal-people) as "sub-humans." Also present in the Battle Cry "Bleed The Half-Breed". Not to be outdone, the laguz use the word "human" as an ethnic slur (which many beorc don't even recognize as such in the first place.) Hybrids between the two are referred to by the Laguz as "parentless". The Branded actually consider this the more cruel term. Being called a half-breed might be insulting, but its use is at least acknowledging that the beorc are the responsible for the Branded existing in the first place, while the Laguz are essentially engaging in a race-wide Never My Fault attitude toward the subject. |

Star Trek: Enterprise: The Andorian commander Shran referred to humans as "pinkskins." (Weirdly, as there were Vulcans of the same skin color in the room and it clearly didn't apply to them.) However, Shran's use of "pinkskin" became an Insult of Endearment, especially with regards to Archer. | |

On Haven, the supernatural powers exhibited by some of the townsfolk are known as "Troubles" and they as "Troubled," owing to the fact that these powers are unwelcome and difficult to control. Reverend Driscoll and his congregation, however, refer to them as "Cursed," owing to the fact they believe the Troubled are outcasts of God and should be cleansed from Haven by violent means if necessary. | |

In Waking Up As A Spaceship, calling a Nekomi a "cat" is a horrendous insult, not because they're ashamed of their engineered feline traits, but because they take it as whoever calls them that is implying that they're deceptive, lazy, and thieving, unworthy of being trusted, as a result of being discriminated against until they're forced to lie, cheat, and steal to survive and then having that behavior used to justify the discrimination in the first place. | |

Guild Wars has various instances of this between the various races, though primarily they're other races referring to humans. "Two-legs" (centaur), "meat" (Charr), and "bookah" (Asura). The Charr insult started with a racist human general spreading propaganda that Charr would eat humans. The Charr enjoyed the extra fear this garnered them and took to using the insult. In the sequel many Asura use terms like "salad" when referring to Sylvari. |

Shin Megami Tensei: In Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne, the Manikins are called "Mud Puppets" by Yosuga's followers while being massacred, accompanied by remarks about how they are not human and delusional for hoping to conceive their own Reason. Shin Megami Tensei IV has the citizens and leaders of Mikado referring to a place called "the Underground" that is inhabited by the "Unclean Ones". By which they mean Tokyo and its citizens, respectively. Later, the term "Filth" is used to refer to the same people. In Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse, the Angels also use the same insult against the people of Tokyo...but Merkabah in the Armageddon standoff used it against anyone he doesn't like. And later on he uses it against himself. |

In "Think Like a Dinosaur", Michael Burr refers to the Hanen, a reptilian species who resemble velociraptors, as "dinos". He even does so in the presence of Sillion and Linna, the two Hanen assigned to the Tuulen Transfer Station, as they do not have emotions. For their part, the Hanen refer to humans as "weeps" and "babies" because of their emotions. |

According to Discworld Noir, the Discworld naturalist, Carolos Linoleum, devised the Latatian taxonomy that gives all creatures a scentific name. He turned in completely uncontroversial performance on mundane animals, but allowed his prejudices to get the better of him on sentient races. Possibly figuring trolls and dwarves were too thick to understand Latatian, he classifed the Dwarf race as Hortus decorus (Garden Ornament), and Trolls became Stultus sternum (Stupid Rock). Vampires were filed under Nosferatu sanguinaie (Bloody Undead) and werewolves as Canii bonii (Good Doggies). The Watch classed his death as suicide. | |

Dragon Ball: In Dragon Ball Z, Frieza is known for his racial slur against all Saiyans, such as "MONKEY!" Or "FILTHY MONKEYS!" when he's truly out of control. He's not the only one, since both his soldiers and his brother Cooler's men refer to Saiyans as monkeys and apes. In the dub of Dragon Ball Z: Cooler's Revenge, Sauzer (The Dragon), reacted to genocide of Saiyans by saying "there goes the monkey farm" in a derogatory tone. Hell, it even extends outside the space guys, as in Dragon Ball Xenoverse, Demon God Demigra, during his Villainous Breakdown, will refer to a Saiyan Player Character as "monkey brute". It does kinda make you feel sorry for the Saiyans. They are jerks, but everybody in their universe and beyond treats them like dirt. In Dragon Ball Z Abridged even Dr Briefs gets in on the slurs in regards to his own grandson Trunks. The poor Namekians get a bit this as well, Vegeta refers to Piccolo as "Green Man" frequently and Dore from Cooler's Revenge even calls a Piccolo a "toad" in the English dub. In TFS Frieza calls Guru a "slug" in insulting reference to their antennae and water based diet, but it's more a In-Joke to the 4th DBZ Movie. Since the Buus are technically a race as of Dragon Ball Online, Vegeta referring to their originator Majin Buu as "chewing gum that's been spat out" is pretty insulting in retrospect. Vegeta also refers to the Androids with a variety of insulting names including “rust buckets�, “tin toys� and even “junkyard robot trash�. |

Harry Potter: "Mudblood" is a slur frequently used for muggle-born wizards (that is, wizards who weren't born to wizards). It's treated as an extremely offensive term early on, but near the end of the series Hermione says she is "Mudblood and proud of it". Interestingly, when she's first called it, Hermione has no idea what it means (though she recognizes that it is an insult); the Gryffindor wizards who do know what it means meanwhile collectively lose their shit. (In the film, however, Hermione does know what it means and is deeply hurt by it.) There's also "blood-traitors" used by "pure-blood" wizarding families to refer to those that marry muggles or muggle-borns. However most people it is directed at don't seem offended by the term, and many are only irritated at the implication that doing either of those things is something anyone should be ashamed of. They also often point out most "pure-blood" families have become woefully inbred as a result of their point of view. Half-giants, Veela, Goblins or other similar people are sometimes called "half-breeds", even by occasionally more open-minded characters. Other magical creatures like mermaids, centaurs, or werewolves are also occasionally have the term applied to them even though the former two are entirely non-human and the latter are technically just diseased humans. It's probably because they appear to be half-human, half something else. It's not clear to what extent this is a slur and to what extent it is an actual term for Half-Human Hybrids, although it often is obviously intended as an insult in some cases, and non-humans beings (like centaurs) tend to take it as an insult. "Muggle" meaning non-magical humans. None of the wizard characters think it's offensive, although it seems to be based on the slang "mug", meaning "a person easily deceived". Part of the problem seems to stem from the fact that "Muggle" is the official term for UK non-wizards, but bigots don't bother to make up a different slur and use "Muggle" also (similar to how words like "gay" and "Jew" can be used neutrally but also pejoratively, depending on context). It does stands out compared to the more neutral American equivalent, "Maj" for wizards and "no-Maj" for non-wizards. |

Cross Ange gives us what is called a "Norma", which is the term of girls who are not only unfit to wield the Light of Mana, but also constantly destroy it on contact. In the Mana Society, Normas are seen as violent, self-concerned subhuman creatures that reject the Light of Mana and live on their own strength. Those who are convicted of being Normas are shipped to the prison island of Arzenal, where they are forced to fight magic-sensitive kaiju called DRAGONs in Humongous Mecha called Paramails. The main character, Ange, is a beloved princess of the Misurugi Empire, but when she is discovered to be a Norma and gets her own mother killed resisting arrest, she is immediately rejected by everyone, even her own friends. She eventually comes to bear her own Fantastic Racism towards the Mana-sensitive humans when she tries to return to her home, only to be met with sheer hatred and bigotry as the people who once adored her callously cheer for her execution. |

Aberrant was titled after an in-setting slur — the superhumans of the setting were more politely referred to as "novas", but those distrustful of them (and some novas out to reclaim the term) use "aberrant". By the time of far-flung sequel Trinity (which was released first), though, the novas are commonly referred to as aberrants. On the other side of the coin, the term "baseline" specifies a person who is incapable of achieving Eruption (becoming a Nova), but quickly got co-opted as a slur against unerupted humans in general. "You wouldn't comprehend, you're just a baseline." | |

Supernatural: Angels refer to humans as "mud-monkeys", while Dean called the Angels "junkless". Lucifer looks down on humans as "hairless apes" One episode has a ghoul offended by being called a ghoul. Hunters (including the main protagonists) will often use terms such as "vamps" (for vampires), "black-eyed bitches" (for demons), and "halos" (for angels) to refer to specific species of the supernatural beings that they hunt. Hunters also often call supernatural beings of any species terms like "things", "creatures", "freaks", and "monsters". |

Fungus the Bogeyman: Bogeys call humans "drycleaners" ("DCs" for short) because we live in relatively dry environments and we keep ourselves clean, and Bogeys do neither.

Discworld: Dwarfs are occasionally called "lawn ornaments" (the Dwarfish language equivalent of which is "a killing insult") and gritsuckers. Trolls take offense at being called "rocks" despite the fact that they do in fact seem to be living, moving rocks. In Ankh-Morpork law, dying as a result of using the terms "lawn ornament" or "rock" is legally considered suicide. The undead and related (vampires, werewolves, bogeymen) sometimes refer to humans as "Normos" (short for "normal"), as seen with Shlimazel the bogeyman in Hogfather. Conservative dwarfs call those dwarfs who dare to openly show signs of femininity "Ha'ak". No translation is given, but it's very clearly not a nice word (the target's troll friend threatened to kill the offender if he heard it used again). It turns out later it's not just an insult for the openly feminine, or conservative vs. liberal: a rather progressive dwarf says it to an arch-conservative adversary in Thud!. Other slurs referring to those showing undwarfly conduct include "Dr'zka" and "D'hrarak". The former means you have a lax approach to dwarfish behaviour and such; the latter means an exile who has been cast out of dwarf society by the Low King. The dwarf word drudak'ak, while it isn't precisely a slur (but is somewhat unkind, judging by the way Carrot hesitates to use it), means something like "They who do not get out in the fresh air enough" and refers to dwarfs who are excessively conservative; generally, the dwarfs that this applies to are rather inclined to believe that the surface is a bad dream of some sort that will go away if they ignore it hard enough. The Librarian gets very upset at being called a "monkey". He's an ape, specifically an orangutan, thank you. There seem to be inter-undead slurs too, Lady Margolotta once referred to werewolves as "doggies". This is generally presented less of a slur and more just impolite to mention; a recurring theme of Angua's plotline is that a being caught halfway between a wolf and a human is going to end up with some doggish traits whether she likes it or not. According to Discworld Noir, taxonomy and cladistics on the Discworld were codified by a long-disappeared zoologist called Carl Linoleum. His system is pretty much parallel to that devised on our world by Carolus Linnaeus - until it gets to species not known on our planet. Linoleum had a suspect sense of humour and no perceptible sense of caution, as his names for those other species are Canis Latinicus for "stupid rocks" (Trolls) "garden gnomes" (Dwarfs) "bloodsuckers" (Vampires) and "good doggie!" (werewolves). After he disappeared, the Watch quietly closed the case as the list of potential suspects was too long, and in any case it was clear-cut suicide. The talking rats in "The Amazing Maurice" use the term "keekee" to refer to a non-talking rat, who they view as less intelligent. Gnomes and the Nac Mac Feegle refer to humans (and, presumably, other human-sized races) as "bigjobs." |

World of Warcraft: Ethereals call most playable races "fleshlings", even the ones they like. Mantid are bug-like humanoids who really don't like the other races of Azeroth, calling them "filth" most of the time; they use the slur when dealing with the player even when your Reputation with them is Friendly. (When you reach Honored, they show a little more courtesy.) Naturally, the humans and orcs have slurs against each other. Humans often call orcs "green skins", and the orcs will often return the favor with "pink skins" or sometimes "small teeth" because of humans lacking tusks. Pandaren born to Pandaria sometimes look down on Pandaren born on the Wandering Isle or who develop a wanderlust in general. They get called "wild dogs". |

Planescape has several, the most outstanding being "prime" and "clueless". "Prime" is for natives of the a prime material plane (i.e. an actual Earth-like world, such as most regular settings) rather than from Sigil or the outer or inner planes; to many planars, this implies that the person is rural, uneducated, the "country cousin from out of town". A clueless, on the other hand, is very much so; a person who just don't get how things work out among the planes, and sometimes believe he's still back home. Some people consider all primes to be clueless, but there's a good deal of arrogant cluelessness among some planewalkers (as one can probably intuit from this, prime doesn't have to be a slur while clueless always is), too. Baatezu and tanar'ri also consider "devil" and "demon" slurs, respectively. | |

Infinity Train: Blossoming Trail: Lexi calls passengers who enter the train and take advantage of denizens and the train's cars as "free-riders" due to a bitter experience with Grace and Simon (who have their own slur in calling denizens "Nulls"). Although given how Grace and Simon are shown to be more monstrous than anything the train can create, he's not entirely wrong. Chloe calls Pokémon "creatures" as a way to distance herself from the same monsters that made her feel isolated from everyone. |

In Homestuck, trolls right at the very bottom of their blood-colour based social structure are called "rustbloods". The more neutral term is "lowblood". At one point, Meenah also gets very offended when Mituna calls her "chumbucket", as it's apparently an anti-seadweller slur. In one of the Paradox Space spin-off comics, Equius refers to Sollux, who is near the bottom of the hemospectrum, as a "gutterblood". Kankri Vantas, being a parody of Tumblr social justice bloggers, labels nearly every caste-specific descriptive term a slur, such as "limeblood" being replaced with the apparently more politically correct word "yellowgreen". |

In Star Wars: The Clone Wars, the clonetroopers call droids "clankers", which is taken from the game Republic Commando. The accompanying books also give us "Tinnies" and "Wets," to refer to any organic enemy. They also call Twi'leks "tailheads". Bad pun on "towelheads", or unintentional? You decide! | |

Valkyria Chronicles has their Jewish/Gypsy analog Darcsens derisively called "dark hairs" because… they have bluish black hair. This also applies to Valkyrur—Selvaria is frequently referred to as a "witch" even by her own soldiers, and Alicia is treated to a kind of reverse discrimination when Gallian soldiers begin genuflecting her in the canteen. Dark-hair only applies to the English dub. In the Japanese dub, they're simply referred to as "Darcsen". |

With Strings Attached: The Idris call noncombatants "fodder" (e.g., streetfodder). Similarly, Jeft calls gaming characters with no chance for survival "fertilizer". Grynun calls elves "dung on legs". Lyndess scornfully calls Terdan a "Foot-Arm", implying that though he is an Arm (the second highest rank in the Idris), he fetches and carries like a lowly Foot. The harveys do not like being called "rabbits" or "bunnies" and are quick to correct John when he innocently calls them that. Varx refers to Jeft as a "highgrav", or big drag. The Hunter calls gay men "shameful female-men". The Keys Stand Alone: The Soft World: The cat-elf Svenjaya are derisively called "plushies". |

Guardians of the Galaxy: Being called "vermin" or "rodent" is Rocket's often-pushed Berserk Button. People insults, such as "jerk," "psycho" or "criminal," he simply takes in stride (partly because those insults tend to be fairly accurate). Note that raccoons are not rodents (they are carnivorans). Rocket refers to Quill as a "humy" twice behind his back. In the sequel, Quill calls him "Trash Panda", and has to explain he meant it as a slur. The Sakaarans Mooks are dubbed "Paper People" by Drax and Quill calls one of them a "Ninja Turtle" — it seems everybody is a little racist in space. |

In Tolkien's Legendarium, the Dunlendings call the Rohirrim "straw-heads". However, the term later became less derogatory when relations between the two people started to improve after the War of the Ring. Hobbits also call men "big folk", though that's not always meant as an insult. | |

The Mortal Instruments: Mundanes are derisively called "mundies" among Shadowhunters. Nobody makes a big deal about it; in fact, Isabelle Lightwood seems to love the word, despite being otherwise heroic. It appears to be a generational shift that shows just how much Shadowhunter society became racist ever since they closed off their community to mundanes. The word is never encountered in The Infernal Devices, a prequel set in the 19th century, during which time mundanes are employed to work for Shadowhunters and may Ascend to become Shadowhunter if they wish so. | |

The Expanse has "skinny" for people from the asteroid Belt (due to the physiological effects of growing up in low gravity), "squat" for people from Earth (for the inverse reason), and "duster" for people from Mars (because the planet is dusty).

In Red Dwarf feline-humanoid Cat sometimes refers Lister and Rimmer as "monkeys", but he doesn't always mean this as an insult. He rarely uses given names, instead referring to others by descriptive terms like "Alphabet Head" (for Rimmer) or "Dormouse Cheeks" (for Lister). Rimmer in turn mockingly calls Cat "pussycat" and even "moggy" one time when he was really annoyed at him. Kryten and other A.I. get the worst of it, especially from Rimmer, who calls the all-round Nice Guy mechanoid names such as "bog bot", "metal bastard", "metal trash" and "rubber-headed eunuch". Rimmer even called the ship's computer Holly a "jumped up File-o-fax". The Gelf are called "Yetis" and other unflattering remarks by Lister (to be fair he was forced into a Arranged Marriage with one). The Simulants make Cat's remarks towards humans look tame in comparison calling the Dwarfers everything from "human vermin", "scrabbler slime" to "pus-sucking, puke-laden, walking cesspits of unspeakableness". |

In the Star Trek Novel 'Verse, "Singleton" is a terrible slur in the Bynar culture, signifying one who is unfit for bonding with another; a rejected person. To the Bynars, who (almost) always operate in pairs, this is the ultimate insult. In the Starfleet Corps of Engineers series, the character "Solomon" is on the receiving end of such abuse due to his decision not to take another mate upon the death of his partner. | |

Marvel Universe: Blade: Blade usually calls vampires "suckheads". Nextwave: Aaron Stack's favorite term for humans is "fleshy ones". X-Men: Mutants are referred to as "muties". Genoshans coin the term "genejoke". "Flatscan" (presumably a mutant detector with an oscilloscope interface would remain a flat line) and (evolutionary) "dead end" are the derogatory terms for regular humans from the mutant POV. Age of X: In the shared hallucination thingy, mutants refer to humans as "preaks". Because they are what came before. Age of X-Man: "Retrograde" is a slur for people who believe in romance and sex. As Nate was grown in a test tube and had some unfortunate relationships, his perfect world is one where everyone is grown in test tubes and nobody has relationships. House of M: In the comic's Alternate Continuity, where mutants are the ruling class and humans are the persecuted minority, humans are referred to as "sapes"(short for sapiens). In one of the tie-ins, Luke Cage occasionally calls other humans "sapien" in a similar manner to a black person using the N-word. New X-Men: Stuff, a shapeshifting member of the Shi'ar Imperial Guard, is reprimanded by a colleague for using the slur "solid-oids" against non-shapeshifters; apparently this sort of bigotry is common enough where they come from that there's even a term for it — "morphism." |

Considering that all the main civilizations in the Codex Alera series are extremely xenophobic, it's unsurprising that a few of these crop up. Aleransnote humans with Elemental Powers who descended from a Lost Roman Legion often call the Canimnote a Proud Warrior Race of sentient, anthropomorphic Wolfmen with Blood Magic "dogs" (though "jackal" is the canine metaphor of choice for when Canim want to insult each other), while Canim call Alerans "demons" (and at least one instance of "monkey-boy"). The Maratnote a Proud Warrior Race of nomadic Neanderthal-esque Wood Elves with Bond Creatures are on marginally better terms with the Alerans (that is to say, the two groups generally avoid each other with the occasional blow-up into war, rather than continuous low-level warfare as between the Alerans and Canim), and the two races at least superficially look similar, so "monster" type slurs are usually out; instead, both groups tend to just call the other "savages", with Alerans insinuating that all Marat are into bestiality and cannibalism, and Marat insinuating that all Alerans are treacherous Dirty Cowards with no morals—the slur "Dead Tribe" is mentioned to be used by Marat for Alerans, but never actually gets used on-page. Oddly, no specific slur for the Icemen is ever brought up, even though a significant subplot in the fifth book involves a warmongering Aleran High Lord who is extremely bigoted against them—though aside from some slight remarks like Alerans dismissing their adversaries as "animals", "Icemen" itself might count, since it's the Aleran term for the race and not the name they use for themselves, which is never revealednote Marat call them "Gadrim-ha" and Canim use "the people of the snows". |

Fire Emblem Fates had the otherwise benevolent and peaceful kingdom of Hoshido decry the people of their darker rival kingdom Nohr as "Nohrian scum" for invading their country and causing the death of their queen, as a sign that they're not just some perfectly pacifistic kingdom, when they're slighted, 'bad habits' start to show. | |

Marvel Cinematic Universe: Thor: The Jotunns are the huge blue-humanoids with frost powers; the Asgardians unflatteringly dubbed them the Frost Giants. Guardians of the Galaxy: Being called "vermin" or "rodent" is Rocket's often-pushed Berserk Button. People insults, such as "jerk," "psycho" or "criminal," he simply takes in stride (partly because those insults tend to be fairly accurate). Note that raccoons are not rodents (they are carnivorans). Rocket refers to Quill as a "humy" twice behind his back. In the sequel, Quill calls him "Trash Panda", and has to explain he meant it as a slur. The Sakaarans Mooks are dubbed "Paper People" by Drax and Quill calls one of them a "Ninja Turtle" — it seems everybody is a little racist in space. Avengers: Infinity War: The Black Order make derogatory remarks towards humans whom they see inferior beings, e.g. The Dragon Ebony Maw refers to Tony Stark as a "chattering animal". Though to be fair Tony does call Maw "Squidward" in return. |

In Save the Pearls, blacks are now the dominant race and have re-named all the races. Whites are called "pearls", Asians are called "Ambers", Latinos are called "Tiger's Eyes" and blacks are called... "coals". While whites are supposedly at the bottom of the hierarchy, many critics have noted that their name is the only one that denotes value, beauty, and rarity. | |

The Stormlight Archive: Soldiers refer to the Parshendi as "shellheads" due to the fact that they naturally grow carapace armor in their warforms, although the slur doesn't really show up in other contexts. "Marbles" is also used a few times, due to all of the parsh having skin marbled either white/red or black/red. Somewhat interesting in that the only people who use either term are lower-class soldiers, while the higher-class individuals stick to the term Parshendi. The term Parshendi is more or less a slur as well. The humans on the planet have parshmen, a related parsh people who act as as highly obedient servants, barely able to speak or think for themselves. The humans essentially view and treat them as (highly valuable) animals rather than people. Upon first meeting with the Parshendi they could see they were obviously related, so the name they gave them literally means "parshmen who can think". None of the human characters seem to think that the term is offensive, and several even seem to expect the Parshendi to be flattered by the fact that their cousins are considered such valuable slaves. It turns out the term is actually quite accurate. Parsh people have the innate ability to swap forms for different purposes (like war, mating or labor), and Parshmen are Parshendi who lost their ability to swap forms and were stuck in what the Parshendi call "slaveform" without the ability to leave it. It might be more accurate to say that parshmen are Parshendi who can't think thank the opposite though, as slaveform is technically the absence of a form rather than a form itself. Rock's people are referred to as "Horneaters," as they literally can eat shells and horns due to their unusual biology. Although no one actually treats this as an insult. He in turn refers to everyone else as "airsick lowlanders", as the Horneaters live on the mountaintops. He mostly applies it to his friends when he think's they're being foolish, so he obviously doesn't think the term is terribly offensive. The term "darkeyes" is also used frequently, due to the worlds Fantastic Caste System. It is the proper term for lower caste people with darker colored eyes (compared to lighteyes), but it is also frequently used as an insult by lighteyes speaking down to darkeyes. The polite version is supposed to be "darkling," but it's rarely used and just comes off as patronizing. |

Dungeons & Dragons: Planescape has several, the most outstanding being "prime" and "clueless". "Prime" is for natives of the a prime material plane (i.e. an actual Earth-like world, such as most regular settings) rather than from Sigil or the outer or inner planes; to many planars, this implies that the person is rural, uneducated, the "country cousin from out of town". A clueless, on the other hand, is very much so; a person who just don't get how things work out among the planes, and sometimes believe he's still back home. Some people consider all primes to be clueless, but there's a good deal of arrogant cluelessness among some planewalkers (as one can probably intuit from this, prime doesn't have to be a slur while clueless always is), too. Baatezu and tanar'ri also consider "devil" and "demon" slurs, respectively. Ravenloft: Natives of the Demiplane of Dread use "Outlander" as a catch-all term for strangers who wander into their realm via the Mists. While not directly derogatory, Outlanders are usually presumed to be either crazy or Mist-disoriented, particularly if they keep claiming to come from other worlds. Spelljammer has "groundling" for people who live on prime worlds but never explore Wildspace or travel via the Phlogiston. While not official, many games treat "knife-ear" and "mongrel" as a slur for elves and half-elves respectively. |

In Phule's Company, aliens are sometimes referred to by the Earth animal they most resemble: "Warthogs" for Voltons, "Slugs" for Sinthians, and "Cats" for Gambolts. Phule strongly objects to these, feeling that "Species slurs are the worst kind of convenient label", since he's trying to reject all the assumptions and stereotypes attached to his Ragtag Bunch of Misfits. | |

The World of Darkness: Vampire: The Masquerade: Humans are "kine", i.e. cattle. Or "bloodbags", if the vampire is younger and less than polite. Every vampiric clan has a nickname. It can be playful or an obvious slur. The Tremere, for instance, are more commonly nicknamed the "Warlocks," but those who hate them (and there's no shortage of Kindred who hate them) call them the "Usurpers" for all the ways they seized power to become a prominent clan. The more common insulting nicknames belong to the Brujah (Rabble), the Toreador (Degenerates), the Tzimisice (Fiends), and the Ravnos (Deceivers) - though the Tzimisce use theirs as a badge of pride. Camarilla-affiliated vampires tend to refer to low-level Sabbat goons as "shovelheads". The Sabbat likes to make shock troops by hitting random people in the head (stereotypically with a shovel), turning them and burying them alive. This process inevitably breaks the psyche of the person in question, leaving them as an utterly dehumanized, completely expendable, super-powered goon, who can be pointed in the right direction and trusted to cause havoc. The slur manages to insinuate that the subject is unworthy, expendable, stupid, clueless and careless all at once. "Fledgling" isn't quite harsh enough to be considered a slur, but it is a derogatory way of referring to a very young vampire, implying inexperience, cluelessness and a need for constant hand-holding and having the simplest things explained. The value-neutral term is "neonate". Calling a vampire "childe" is roughly equivalent of calling a human "kid". It's patronizing, but not enough so that it is automatically insulting, especially not if the user is your sire or significantly older and more experienced. "Lick," however, is the most pointed term for saying someone really doesn't know how to be a good vampire. "Heads" are vampires who are addicted to drugs of some kind, and seek out users of said drugs to get a fix from drinking their blood. The practice is looked down on for needlessly risking infection (vampires can't catch hepatitis or HIV, but they can spread them just fine) and is seen as clinging to trappings of humanity. The term is combined with a term for the drug (i.e. "boozehead", "smackhead", "speedhead", "methhead"...). Werewolf: The Apocalypse: Werewolves call vampires "leeches," and the vampires (among others) call the werewolves "dogs". The werewolves also have Fantastic Slurs for each other — "apes" and "monkeys" for those with human parents, "ferals" for those with wolf parents, and "mules" for those whose parents are both werewolves, and who are therefore sterile. |

Fallout 3: "Zombies" is a slur for ghouls. One ghoul you can speak with seems surprised that you don't call him a "Brain-eater" or a "Shuffler". Super Mutants are often referred to as "Muties" or "Uglies" Fawkes would prefer you use the term "Meta-Human". The ghouls themselves often use the term "smoothskin" for non-mutated humans, but it's unclear whether this is considered a slur; some ghouls say it like one, but others (who don't show any other signs of prejudice against humans) just use it as a synonym for "non-mutated human". |

Castlevania (2017): Humans are called "livestock" by vampires since they are treated as no more than tasty cattle to be culled and slaughtered. At one point, The Brute God Brand calls a warrior was trying to do a Last Stand "brave livestock". At least one human, Saint Germain in Season 3, was ballsy enough to refer to Dracula himself, lord of all vampires, as a "leech". |

Farscape: Rygel's frequent "blue-arsed bitch" rants at/about Zhaan may or may not qualify, depending on whether the phrase is any more widely used than by him. Many characters refer to him as a "slug" when they're particularly angry with him, and a one-shot villain calls him a "slime toad" and "slime finger". Before they lose much of their hostility towards each other and become friends, Jool would occasionally insult Chiana by referring to her as a "monochromatic little bitch" or some other variant. |

The Bangaa in the Ivalice Alliance games take great offense to being called a lizard as a human would be if they were called an ape. Final Fantasy XII explains that Bangaas get offended by the slur since it compares them to the barbaric lizard monsters, which barely have any sentience. In Final Fantasy XIV, Bangaas are not lizards, but are mammals. The scaly skin on their bodies is a result of their puberty where they lose patches of fur and whatever fur that doesn't grow back becomes hard and scaly. Regardless, Bangaas still take offensive at being called a lizard. | |

Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance/Radiant Dawn deserves mention for coming up with the most blatant Fantastic Slur ever. Some beorc (humans) actually refer to the laguz (shapeshifting animal-people) as "sub-humans." Also present in the Battle Cry "Bleed The Half-Breed". Not to be outdone, the laguz use the word "human" as an ethnic slur (which many beorc don't even recognize as such in the first place.) Hybrids between the two are referred to by the Laguz as "parentless". The Branded actually consider this the more cruel term. Being called a half-breed might be insulting, but its use is at least acknowledging that the beorc are the responsible for the Branded existing in the first place, while the Laguz are essentially engaging in a race-wide Never My Fault attitude toward the subject. |

And So We Fight has "fecacutis" (roughly "shit skin") as an unfathomably offensive slur for the Shiekah (and to a lesser extent, anyone dark-skinned). It is considered so offensive that academics will refuse to even write it down when translating documents, and a Shiekah is considered honor-bound to kill someone who uses it against them, and will face no legal repercussions for doing so. | |

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: "Spoonheads" or "Cardies" for Cardassians. "Shifter" for Changelings. Xenophobic Changelings refer to non-shapeshifters as "solids," and one came up with the term "monoform" to emphasize how limited non-Changelings are. "Philanthropist" is an insult to Ferengi, as their society is based on self-advancement and personal gain, while philanthropy is advancing the welfare of others. One episode featured a city 20 Minutes into the Future, which had the terms "dim" (for a mentally ill, homeless person) and "ghost" (for a violent 'dim'). They also used "gimmie" for a homeless, but not mentally ill, person, though that was only insulting sometimes. |

Rocket Age: As the game is set in The '30s, humanity isn't always the best at respecting other species and has a variety of rude names for them. Some examples include Sweat-Back for Venusians, Tree-People for Ganymedians and Fish (as in new fish) for Europan Emissaries. | |

Played with in a sketch about a third Cars sequel painting Lightning as an Adaptational Jerkass, much to actor Owen Wilson's chagrin. He calls Mater "the 'R' word," startling Wilson, but it's actually "rusty," an insult to cars. However, Lightning also spends the next several pages calling Mater the real-life "R" word. | |

Halo: The Covenant are sometimes called "covies" for short. Humans also have plenty of insulting names for the Covenant's member species: for example, the Sangheili/Elites have been referred to as "split-lip", "squid-head", "hinge-head", etc. One insult for the Jackals/Kig-Yar is "Turkey". Amusingly, some Jackals have come to the logical conclusion that, since humans regularly eat turkeys, the insult is an implied threat that Jackals are on the menu. Probably because the reverse is true for humans. The Forerunners had dirt-beast, their "most obscene slur for anyone not of [their] species". The councilor Splendid Dust of Ancient Suns calling bodyguard Glory of a Far Dawn an idiot might count as well, as The Forerunner Saga is supposedly a narrative translated from a Forerunner language, with the actual word described as a way to put inferiors in their place (Glory being low in the Forerunner caste system). |

Sword of the Stars: Human spacers and, more rarely, Sol Force personnel use slang terms to refer to their alien opponents, "Crocs" for the Tarka, "Bugs" for the Hivers, and "Flips" for the Liir. It turns out the aliens all have their own slurs to refer to humans: Liir use "eels", referring to humanity's perceived treachery and unintelligence as well as their tendency to wreck underwater habitats and gardens, while Tarka use "stump", a reference to the fact that humans do not have tails (Tarka with short or no tails are treated as the runt offspring of weakling parents, and calling one a "stump" is basically saying "your egg should have been eaten instead of fertilized"). The Hiver slur is untranslated, but it refers to a kind of burrowing rodent native to the Hiver homeworld. | |

Steven Universe Most of Peridot's taunts toward the Crystal Gems seem to revolve around comparing them to rocks or dirt. "Clod" is her insult of choice, with some variations like "Crystal clods", along with calling them "dirtbombs" once, and she's referred to Steven as a "pebble" at least once. When Peridot calls Yellow Diamond a clod to her face, Yellow Diamond's face contorts with rage in a hilarious way◊. Much later, it turns out "Pebbles" are a type of brownie-like gems who are considered very unimportant. Peridot also had a deep distaste for fusions, which made Garnet a prime target for insults. She's been referred to as "the (perma)fusion" and "filthy war machine", the latter of which really pissed her off. Peridot learned fast enough to not insult Garnet when she's nearby, but that doesn't mean she stops when she's not around. Holly Blue Agate from "Gem Heist" and "That Will Be All" keeps calling the Amethysts made on Earth "off color". In the episode "Off Colors", Steven meets a group of flawed, misfit gems who reveal that "off color" is a term for Gems who don't fit into Homeworld's Hive Caste System. Gems' catch-all term for any form of organic life is "organics", which tends to be used in a pretty negative manner. |

Mass Effect: Calling an asari a "pureblood" is an offensive slur. More specifically, this refers to the child of two Asari, as they can breed with any other species (it allegedely increases genetic diversity) and view reproduction within their own race much as humans would view incest, due in part of a possible genetic defect that causes the child to essentially be a Sex Vampire. The ammonia-breathing Volus have to walk around in pressure suits all the time, and regularly wheeze in their speech. Telling one to "take a deep breath" is akin to telling them to kill themselves in an amazingly racist way. Expect a bad reaction, especially since about half of them have a Hair-Trigger Temper. The batarians, a race of four-eyed aliens, are called "blinks" by some people. Quarians are sometimes being called "suit rats" as Tali would attest. The volus, who often refer to people as "planet-clan" (they call humans "Earth-clan"), will also call the quarians "clanless" (more considerate volus call them "Star-Clan" or "Migrant-Clan"). This is especially insulting because quarian society is also clan-based. Turians have been referred to as "cuttlebones" and "skullfaces" during the First Contact War. Or, more rarely, "birds" (due to the somewhat avian shape of a turian's head). Hanar take offense at being called "jellyfishes". Of course, they're too polite to actually tell you that they're offended. Angara are sometimes called "flopheads" due to their cobra-like hoods. |

The Wicked Years, a Darker and Edgier revisionist retelling of the Land of Oz books, retcons "Winkie" into an insulting term for the inhabitants of the Vinkus (the proper name for "Winkie Country"). In Maguire's take on the Oz mythos, the Vinkus is reimagined as a tribal society roughly analogous to Africa or the Middle East, and it's shown to suffer from imperialist aggression at the hands of the wealthier regions of Oz; not surprisingly, the people of the Vinkus face casual racism on a regular basis, and the term "Winkie" is tossed around so frequently that most people think it's what they're actually called. | |

In The Fifth Season, people born with the reviled Functional Magic of orogeny are called orogenes if you're being polite, or roggas if not. Ykka, who's trying to destigmatize orogenes in her isolated community, takes Rogga as a use-caste name as if it were a profession. By contrast, The Archmage Alabaster almost always uses "rogga" in conversation because he knows just how superficial the Gilded Cage of enslaved Imperial orogenes is, and just how nightmarish things can get for them. | |

Star Trek "Pointy-Ear" is a slur against Vulcans and Romulans. Romulans tend to find it more offensive than Vulcans, or rather, Vulcans simply choose to not rise to the insult. Star Trek: The Original Series: Dr. McCoy frequently makes "green-blooded hobgoblin" or "pointed-eared hobgoblin" rants towards Vulcans (and Spock in particular). Kirk goes so far as to call Spock an "elf with a hyperactive thyroid" in the episode "This Side of Paradise" in order to try and enrage him. "Greenskins" for female Orions. One episode featured a race of aliens who were half black and half white, and the people who were black on the left side hated the ones who were white on the left side and vice versa. At one point, they insultingly referred to each other as "half-blacks" and "half-whites". Star Trek: The Next Generation: An inorganic lifeform calls humans "ugly bags of mostly water" in the episode "Home Soil". Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: "Spoonheads" or "Cardies" for Cardassians. "Shifter" for Changelings. Xenophobic Changelings refer to non-shapeshifters as "solids," and one came up with the term "monoform" to emphasize how limited non-Changelings are. "Philanthropist" is an insult to Ferengi, as their society is based on self-advancement and personal gain, while philanthropy is advancing the welfare of others. One episode featured a city 20 Minutes into the Future, which had the terms "dim" (for a mentally ill, homeless person) and "ghost" (for a violent 'dim'). They also used "gimmie" for a homeless, but not mentally ill, person, though that was only insulting sometimes. Star Trek: Voyager: The half-Klingon B'Elanna Torres was referred to as "Ms. Turtlehead" by human children as a girl. It hurt enough to remain a Berserk Button for her as an adult. (In the Expanded Universe, Klingons are sometimes referred to as "turtleheads" or "ridgeheads.") Star Trek: Enterprise: The Andorian commander Shran referred to humans as "pinkskins." (Weirdly, as there were Vulcans of the same skin color in the room and it clearly didn't apply to them.) However, Shran's use of "pinkskin" became an Insult of Endearment, especially with regards to Archer. Star Trek: Picard: The Romulan pejorative for humans is "round-ears" and the Romulan slur for xBs is "half-meat". |

Girl Genius has "madboy" or "madgirl" for sparks, people who have the setting's version of Science-Related Memetic Disorder. The terms are, for obvious reasons, deeply insulting (though quite accurate) and tend to only be used when the target is well out of hearing range. The sparks themselves generally call everyone else "minions." The word isn't offensive in and of itself, but is often made a part of rants against clumsy lab assistants. |

In Teen Titans (2003), it is revealed that Tamaranians are often refered to as "Troq" by other species. When Cyborg asks what it means, Starfire comments that "It means nothing". Later on, he calls her that himself and she immediately becomes enraged, demanding that he never call her that again. Confused, he asks what the big deal is about a word that doesn't mean anything, to which she clarifies that the word literally means "nothing", and is used to call her race worthless. While she was merely depressed by being called it, Cyborg and Robin were decidedly furious when they learn the truth. | |

In Neo Yokio Arcangelo repeatedly calls Kaz a "Ratcatcher" in reference to his Magistocratic heritage. The tourism video at the start of the first episode helpfully informs us that the magicians and occultists who came to Neo Yokio to deal the demon problem in the 1800's were "colloquially called ratcatchers." (The voiceover that announces this factoid accompanies footage of a magician blasting several large rats with a bolt of purple energy, though whether his actions are purely for pest control purposes or to stamp out diseases like the plague is left vague). | |

Werewolf: The Apocalypse: Werewolves call vampires "leeches," and the vampires (among others) call the werewolves "dogs". The werewolves also have Fantastic Slurs for each other — "apes" and "monkeys" for those with human parents, "ferals" for those with wolf parents, and "mules" for those whose parents are both werewolves, and who are therefore sterile. | |

The Land Before Time: It's apparently common for threehorns (ceratopsids) to call longnecks (sauropods) "flatheads". Petrie did use the term first not meaning to be insulting. However, Cera was not back with the group to hear him at that time, though she uses the term on her own after running into them. "My father told me that flatheads have very small brains!" | |

Journey to Chaos: Demons are called "dumb animals" because they orginated as mindless monsters. Humans are called "temps" by elves or "softskins" by orcs depending on humanity's greatest failing in the view of that race. Elves are immortal and Orcs are Nigh-Invulnerable; humans are neither. Elves are called "dagger ears" because of their Pointed Ears. Orcs are called some permutation of "violent brute" because of their status as Proud Warrior Race Guys. |

In Gundam Earth Federation soldiers call the Zeon "Zeeks" and Zeon soldiers call the Federation "Feddies". While Spacenoid is in fact the in-universe term for people who live in space colonies or on the moon, the Titans use it as a slur. This doesn't carry over to the word Earthnoid for space-dwellers. There are also Oldtypes, typically used in contrast to Newtypes, though occasionally it's used with the connotation of "a selfish, narrow-minded, outdated fool who refuses to evolve". Furthermore, in Gundam SEED the Earth Alliance soldiers call the space-faring ZAFT soldiers "Space monsters". Classy. Even worse, Blue Cosmos, the group that's basically pulling the strings behind the Earth Alliance, refers to Coordinators as "Patchworks". |

Animorphs: Yeerks are "slugs", Andalites are "grass-eaters", Taxxons are "bugs" or more commonly "worms", Hork-Bajir are "geniuses" and "bark-chewers", and humans are "monkeys." The standard Yeerk-on-Andalite insult seems to be "Andalite filth!," while the inverse is "Yeerk scum!" Aside from species based slurs, "vecol" seems to be the Andalite equivalent of "cripple" (as opposed to "handicapped" or "disabled"). Another Andalite reacts extremely poorly when he hears Ax refer to his friend as a vecol, suggesting there is a less offensive term. | |

BattleTech: Trueborn Clan warriors look down on naturally born people, giving rise to the term "freebirth", meant to disparage not only actual Freeborns, but other Trueborns as well. Freenborns in turn call them "trashborn". There are also a variety of insults that the various members of the Great Houses have for each other, like the Taurians addressing members of the Federated Suns as "Fedrats", or people dismissively referring to less-competent members of the Capellan Confederation as "Crappies". Clan Wolf and Clan Jade Falcon are known for their mortal rivalry more than anything else. Appropriately, the Wolves refer to the Falcons as "pigeons" and the Falcons refer to the Wolves as "dogs." Members of the Word of Blake (or at least their believers) are referred to as either "wobbies" or "toaster worshippers." |

Top 10: Robots are sometimes referred to as "clickers", a term that carries the same connotations as the N-word does in the real word. They prefer "Ferro-Americans" or "Post-organics" — although that doesn't stop "scrap" musicians from using it in their songs... A lesser slur than "clicker" is "spambo", which carries connotations of both "sambo" and "oreo". Like a can of SPAM luncheon meat, it's metal on the outside, meat on the inside. "Robot" itself seems to be a lesser, old-fashioned slur similar to "negro" or "colored". An elderly woman talking to android officer Joe Pi starts saying "robot", then stops herself and says "post-organic". Vampires are much the same. One vampire character insists that he's "a Hungarian-American with an inherited medical condition". |

Star Trek: The Original Series: Dr. McCoy frequently makes "green-blooded hobgoblin" or "pointed-eared hobgoblin" rants towards Vulcans (and Spock in particular). Kirk goes so far as to call Spock an "elf with a hyperactive thyroid" in the episode "This Side of Paradise" in order to try and enrage him. "Greenskins" for female Orions. One episode featured a race of aliens who were half black and half white, and the people who were black on the left side hated the ones who were white on the left side and vice versa. At one point, they insultingly referred to each other as "half-blacks" and "half-whites". |

The Elder Scrolls The native Dunmer (Dark Elves) in Morrowind have at least three: s'wit, fetcher, and n'wah. The first two are used similarly to "shit/idiot" and the "f" word while also being an offensive term for a slave, respectively. The last is a highly offensive word for "outlander" with similar negative connotations as the Japanese "gaijin" and/or the real life "N" word. Argonians will sometimes refer to non-Argonians as "soft-skins" in a derogatory fashion. Conversely, Argonians are called lizards and Khajiit "kitties"; and in Oblivion, every race gets a set of battle cries which specifically insult the other races—a human yelling that their Argonian opponent "will make a fine pair of boots," for example. Also, Khajiit are said to get very upset if you call them unclawed or bald, even if they technically are. Aureals (aka Golden Saints) and Mazken (aka Dark Seducers), two forms of lesser Daedra in service to Sheogorath, liberally use the term "Dog" in this fashion. They use it toward the each other, mortals, and even lesser members of their own races. Conversely, as seen in Skyrim, Nords (and presumably other races the Dunmer don't get along with) refer to Dunmer as "greyskins". |

Early in One Piece Zoro, Sanji and Usopp called the Fish People Arlong Pirates names such as "half-fish mutants", "fish bastard", and "fishsticks" among other things. Justified at the time as the Fish-Men had captured and terrorized their crewmate Nami and her village for years... however as we learn later Fish Men as a race aren't inherently bad at all and those kind of insults are more fittingly used by human bigots rather than the heroes themselves. | |

Futurama Bender often refers to humans as "meatbags" as well as various other insults. As for insults towards robots, see this exchange: When Bender sold his body (leaving him as just a head), he called people with bodies "Coffin-stuffers". Hermès Conrad frequently calls Zoidberg “Ya Filthy Crab�, which is obviously a racist slur (given how Zoidberg’s species, the Decapodians greatly resemble crustaceans). |

Code Geass: Citizens of the defeated Japan are called "Elevens" by everyone affiliated with the Holy Britannian Empire, to go along with the whole stripped-of-their-national-identity treatment the Empire put on them (occupied Japan is simply called "Area 11"). Likewise with every other country that has been numbered. The Japanese rebels have their own slur for Britannians, "Buriki-yarou", literally meaning "tin-plated bastards" (a reference to their use of Knightmare Frames to invade Japan and other nations) as well as punning off the similarity in the two words. This was Lost in Translation in both (fan) subs and the official dub. The closest the dub comes to is "Brits". |

The Moreau Series features "Morey", short for the uplifted animal Moreaus, and "Franks", short for the genetically enhanced human Frankensteins. As the protagonist tends to be a Noble Bigot with a PI Badge in a Crapsack World, it's never clear if there's a polite term, but the few 'good' people we run into avoid them completely. "Nonhuman" is used by several news agencies, but the moreau protagonists react with scorn to the term. | |

Psychonauts: Psychics are sometimes derisively referred to as "Spoon-benders." Much like with real life slurs, however, it's apparently okay for one psychic to call another one a spoon-bender; three main characters say it, one joking, one angry and one serious. Within the psychic community, the implied meaning seems to be 'someone who uses their powers for mundane things/to show off'. "Mentalist" is another one, but N-Word Privileges don't apply here; it's only used once by one character who is not psychic and is incredibly fantastically racist. Because of this, it's probably worse than "spoon-bender" as a slur. |

Looming Gaia: "Hob", short for "hobgoblin" began as a slur for goblins, but is now used for all fae. It's casually used in Evangeline Kingdom where fae are enslaved, but in Mogdir Kingdom, saying it will get you a lashing. Minotaurs are derogatorily called "gravelmouths" due to their bovine heads making it difficult for them to speak many languages. "Ironblood" for commoners (non-magical peoples with iron in their blood) used by any magic-using species who don't have iron in their blood, as iron repels magic. |

Gattaca: Derisive terms for non-engineered people abound like "utero", "in-valid", "faithbirth" and "Godchild" (referring to their parents' decision to throw caution to the wind and trust in faith or God to give them a healthy child). A natural-born individual who assumes the identity of an engineered person is often referred to as a "borrowed ladder" or, less flatteringly, a "de-gene-erate". In contrast, engineered folk are given complimentary nicknames such as "vitro", "valid" or "made-man". | |

In Wing Commander, 'Hairless ape' is used by Kilrathi on Terrans. Terrans call the Kilrathi "furballs" or "cats" usually. The slur 'Hairless ape' is probably inspired from the Kzinti, who where themselves called 'ratcats' by humans, as their naked tails do resemble those of terran rats. Prophecy gives us "bugs" to refer to the hostile new alien race, with a taunt message for Casey in its sequel Secret Ops referring to them as roaches. |

Ender's Game: Ender himself is a "Third" in a society with strict Population Control, and the book opens with him being addressed as such in a derogatory manner. "Buggers" was retconned into this. In the later books (starting with Ender's Shadow) we learn that they're officially called "Formics" — likely because the series became more popular among pre-teens than Card expected, and he wanted to avoid gratuitous profanity (he even replaces all uses of "Bugger" with "Formic" in the 2008 graphic novel adaptation). Note that while considered a swear on Earth after the first and second invasions, "buggers" doesn't really mean much to the aliens, who at that point are still figuring out the concept of sapience outside of a hive mind, have little to no real contact with the humans, and never really grok the concept of language even after human-Formic relations are a little more regular. Rather than being used to insult Formics in an immediate social setting, its use as a slur is more like an insulting nickname for an enemy of war, similar to how Americans would call Vietnamese soldiers "Charlie" during the Vietnam war. "Piggies" starts off as an affectionate nickname for the native inhabitants of Lusitania in Speaker for the Dead, but, by Xenocide and Children of the Mind, it has come to be seen as condescending, and "pequeninos" (Portuguese for "little ones") is the preferred term. |

Domina: There are a few, mostly listed offhand in the culture documents. One of the more prominent slurs is "ferrets" for the Nosferatu vampires. Considering that the Nosferatu pride themselves on embracing the physically monstrous parts of the vampire package, calling them ferrets drains a lot of their intimidation factor. Changelings who break changeling law are referred to as bruscar, which is translated as "fey-trash" (it's Irish for "trash"). Once the fey begin recruiting, the changelings start referring to anyone who works with them as bruscar. One of the American homunculi is also referred to as bruscar, even though there's no way he has anything to do with the fey. |

The Beginning After the End: The Asuras refer to the mortal inhabitants of Dicathen and Alacrya as "lessers" to reflect their sense of superiority over them, especially in regards to magic as the Asuras have harmonized their bodies with mana. Their usage of the term ranges from begrudging tolerance (even the Asuras who are the most empathetic to the mortals use the term) to outright Humans Are Insects level of disdain. Any Asura/lesser hybrids are referred to as "lessurans" or the even more pejorative "mutts", given how the most conservative Asuras view them as misbegotten mongrels. Given how the Vritra Clan had interbred with and experimented upon the Alacryans for millennia, the term sees heavy use in referring to the caste of Vritra-blooded Alacryans who dominate the continent's social hierarchy. Notably, even said hybrids are known to use the "lesser" slur when referring to those without Vritra blood. |

Deus Ex: Human Revolution fears of augmented abilities, curious religious interpretations, and fear of becoming part of a new underclass has caused prejudice against augmented humans, which features some slurs: "aug", "hanzer" (enhanced human), "cog" (cybernetic augmentation), "robot", "chromeboy", etc. The unaugmented are sometime called "Natch" (from Natural), but in an Inversion, any "Natch" calls themselves that as a point of pride. Deus Ex: Mankind Divided continues the trend, the racism and hate is now spread as wide as ever, and augmented people called only by slurs, such as "wrench" (As in "pipe wrench" a tool) and "clanks". |

Warhammer 40,000: Psychics call normal humans "blunts", and are themselves most often called "witches," and sometimes "warpfreaks," or "madboys". Renegade psykers are called "Wyrds", though it's hard to tell if that's supposed to be an insult or a designation. Ogryns are often called "fats", "slobs", "stenches" and "flabs" for their immense physiques and less-than-stellar hygiene. A particularly smart Ogryn may be eligible to receive the cybernetic "BONE" treatment to further enhance their intelligence. These "Bone'eads" will often possess abilities unknown to most Ogryn — like counting their own fingers. Navigators, who are raised as nobles and can see the Warp, have been known to refer to normal humans as "blinders". This is apparently one of their most polite terms. Some human worlds tolerate a small population of mutants, and the word "twist" is a slur for them. Mutants will use "twist" as an amiable form of address amongst each other, but intensely dislike having non-mutated humans call them that. Psychic blanks are also called "blunters," "nulls," "untouchables," and "pariahs." This is notable in that these aren't strictly slurs as much as fairly accurate descriptors. And it's odd, because their powers naturally make people antipathetic if not fearful towards them. Just to make it confusing, Depending on the Writer null, untouchable, and pariah are actually distinct variants. Techpriests of the Adeptus Mechanicus also do this to normal humans. At least one has been heard to call them "meatbags". Techpriests in turn are often called "cogboys" or some other name referring to their heavy use of artificial limbs/organs. According to the Ciaphas Cain novels, the term cogboy is actually one of the less degrading names the imperial guard gives to the techpriests, so it should be no surprise they don't have much positive opinions from normal people (Techpriests actually use "cog" as a compliment meaning "someone who reliably performs an essential but unglamorous job" among themselves). Likewise, when one Navigator calls the others in a meeting "blinders", the footnote from Amberly noted that she must have been making a considerable effort to be polite. Non-humans are referred to by the Imperium as "xenos", a nouning of the Greek-derived prefix. Orks are referred to by humans as "greenskins". Orks call humans "'umies", thought this is probably just because they can't pronounce the word correctly. Orks also refer to Tau as "greyskins", and Eldar as "pointy-eared gits" or "panzees". Ork insults usually aren't of the most creative kind. They do call their smaller, weaker, cowardly cousins, the Gretchen, "grotz", and use that as an insult to each other. And back in the Rogue Trader days, Orks called Space Marines "beakies" because at time their helmets were shaped similar to a bird's beak. The Eldar call the humans "mon'keigh". While the connotation is evident, the word means "lesser species needing to be exterminated" and comes from an ancient alien race that the Eldar fought with long before they first encountered humans. Despite being the majority, Dark Eldar refer to those born in a cloning facility as "Half-born" and these are discriminated against, in comparison the "Trueborn" who have normal biological parentage. The posthuman Astartes (or Space Marines, for the uninitiated), who are more divorced from their human roots, often call human characters as "mortals" or "Humans", often in a less-than-appreciative manner. |

Shadowrun: Elves are called "keebs" or "dandelion eaters" as a slur. Dwarves likewise get called "halfers." Humans refer to Orks and Trolls, collectively, as "Trogs". Not to be outdone, the Orks call Humans "Breeders", which according to Urban Dictionary is an actual slur used in the real world by homosexuals in reference to heterosexuals. Orks are also called "tuskers" and elves are also called "fairies." This too is based on real world uncomplimentary terminology. Humans also occasionally get called "round-ears" on the grounds that they are the only one of the five main metavariants without pointed ears. |

Unsounded: The nation of Alderode has two for specific People of Hair Color castes: "Pissmop" for the Gold caste, in an unflattering reference to their hair color and their distrusted status in Aldish society. "Insect" for the Platinum caste, who, despite being officially deemed holy by the prevalent Gefendur religion, are effectively considered disposable due to their thirty-year lifespans. Quigley takes this as a sort of Appropriated Appellation by using insect-themed magic and motifs. Humans are called "spiderpaws" by the brutally persecuted two-toe Lizard Folk, who have only three stubby digits on each hand. The slur has caught on among many of the ancient Senet Beasts, who have even more reason to loathe the human race. |

Warhammer: The terms used by the dwarfs for other species are not usually very complementary. Most of the terms used in Khazalid, their own language, for others are simply derived from taking a word for some uncomplentary concept that they associate with others and making a general plural noun form of it by giving it an "-i" ending. Humans are usually referred to as "manlings" or, in Khazalid, as umgi, a word that roughly translates as "those who do shoddy work". This is fairly accurate, in truth; most things of human manufacture are decidedly dodgy by dwarf standards. Note that their name for themselves, Dawi, comes from dawr, "good workmanship". The term for elves, elgi, is derived from elgram, which means "thin, weak, or feeble" to broadly mean "weak ones" or "feeble ones". Grobi, used for goblins, comes from grob, the color green — literally, it means something like "greenies". Thaggoraki, the word for the Skaven, comes from thag, meaning dishonourable or cowardly murder. Skaven being Skaven, "cowardly murderous rats" is a rather accurate term for them. The orcs refer to the dwarfs as "stunties", to the elves as "skinnies" and "pointies", to humans as "humies", to lizardmen as "scalies" and to the undead as "bonies". The Lizardmen typically refer to the younger races as "Warm-Bloods", which is not generally meant as a polite term. If they're feeling especially peeved or condescending, they usually go for "[Species]-Spawn". They also call Skaven something that roughly translates to "twisted spawn of the rat". Mind you, this is an entirely accurate description. The Skaven refer to just about everything else as "X-Thing" (Man-Thing, Dwarf-Thing, Elf-Thing, Half-Thing, Green-Thing, Dead Thing, etc.). The Children of the Horned Rat sourcebook for Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay has a Skaven map which uses the Skaven vernacular, in which the Chaos Wastes, populated, if at all, by mutant monstrosities, is labeled "Things". |

On My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon call their classmates who haven't gotten their cutie marks yet "Blank Flanks" (since a cutie mark is on a pony's thigh). Ironically, they appropriated the term from their teacher, Cheerilee, who wasn't using it as an insult, suggesting it might be a technical term which was appropriated as derogatory language (which is Truth in Television for many slurs). Though in "Crusaders of the Lost Mark", Diamond Tiara's mother Spoiled Rich uses the term, indicating that she picked it up from her and it isn't exclusive to the schoolyard. | |

Doctor Who: In the 22nd century, the humans who survived the Dalek invasion of Earth call the Daleks "dustbins" as a slur. Among the recurring cultures in the franchise are the Silurians and Sea Devils, respectively land-dwelling and aquatic sub-species of a type of Ultraterrestrial intelligent semi-humanoid dinosaur. Both of these names, however, were originally Fantastic Slurs created by humans who were in conflict with them. Somewhat awkwardly, the franchise has never told us what they actually call themselves — some "Wilderness Years" expanded universe works and subsequent fan discussion uses "Earth Reptiles" as a non-pejorative term, and the Eleventh and Twelfth Doctors used the taxonomically-confusing term Homo reptilia. This is further complicated when the Silurians and Sea Devils in "Warriors of the Deep" use those names to refer to themselves, Watsonianly possibly as an Appropriated Appelation, but Doyalistically because the story's scriptwriter didn't know about the earlier stories in detail. The Silurians like to use the term "apes" to describe humans, a term the Ninth Doctor also uses for them in occasions of extreme frustration. During the 26th century, "Dragons" is a racial slur for Draconians, a reptilian race who are the major rivals to Earth's empire in "Frontier in Space". Most potato-related descriptors are used as racially charged epithets towards Sontarans in the new series. The Telos Novella "Time and Relative" has a pre-series First Doctor making racist comments to Susan about "singlehearts", meaning humans. "The End of Time": The Vinvocci, green aliens with spines all over their heads, do not appreciate the term "cactus". |

Star Trek Expanded Universe: In the Star Trek Novel 'Verse, "Singleton" is a terrible slur in the Bynar culture, signifying one who is unfit for bonding with another; a rejected person. To the Bynars, who (almost) always operate in pairs, this is the ultimate insult. In the Starfleet Corps of Engineers series, the character "Solomon" is on the receiving end of such abuse due to his decision not to take another mate upon the death of his partner. In John M. Ford's Klingon novels, the ultimate, unforgiveable, kill-the-insulter-to-redeem-your-honor insult you can call a Klingon is "tokhe straav'"—"willing slave". Star Trek: Ex Machina has the Vulcan V'tosh Ka'tur (lit; "one without logic"). Of course, while Vulcans would never do such a thing as actually call someone a slur, the ones who use it in this novel sure throw it at Spock like one. A very emotional reaction, all told. |

Noughts & Crosses: "Blanker" is used as the equivalent of the N-word, or "Kaffir" (deriving from "Blank", i.e. "white" in several languages), for white people instead. "Dagger" is one for Crosses which Noughts use. "Halfer" is used for people of mixed Nought and Cross ancestry. | |

Fixing RWBY: It's mentioned that faunus have several slurs against them, such as "fur-licker" and "lizard brain", depending on what type of faunus they are. The term "faunus" itself was once a slur because faunus saw themselves as individual species, not one big species. Nowadays, it likely serves as an equivalent to the term "Negroes" in America during the 20th-century. There's the very damaging, Faunophobic slur, "critter", the local rhyming equivalent of the n-word against African-Americans, as suggested by the commenter TheIntratec9. Similarly, "Jockey" is used to refer to Faunus sympathizers. |

Battlestar Galactica (2003) has "toaster" for the Cylons in general, and "bullethead" for the Centurions. Humanoid Cylon models are often referred to as "skinjobs" (a shout-out to Blade Runner, as mentioned in the "Film" section). It was mentioned once, in "Bastille Day" by Zarek, that humans from Sagittaron get called "stumps". In Caprica, humans from Tauron are derogatorily called "dirt eaters", which refers to a time when many of them actually ate dirt during a famine. The word "monad" also appears to be used as a somewhat derogatory term for monotheists. |

The South Park episode "Goobacks" featured time travellers from the future. Since In the Future, Humans Will Be One Race, and their language (a combination of every present-day language rolled into one) is utterly unintelligibe to the people of the present, "Future People" end up being regarded as a separate race entirely, and the titular slur "Goobacks" is coined for them, since they arrive in the present covered in a purple goo as a side effect of the time travel process. | |

Warrior Cats: "Kittypet" seems to have originally been a slur for pet cats. The series' feral cats, or "Clan cats" as they're called, look down upon cats who live pampered lives with humans or even interact with humans. "Kittypet" sounds mocking but it is usually used in a neutral manner-of-fact manner. It can be used in a mocking manner, but it depends on the tone. "Squirrel-brained" or "mouse-brained" is used to refer to cats who are being idiotic or scatterbrained. The real insult is "fox-hearted", which is a grave insult. Unusually, there's a cat named "Foxheart". She does not live up to the name, however. A frustrated RiverClan cat once addressed a member of another Clan as "drypaws", apparently meaning something similar to "landlubber". Played with for the term "twoleg" for humans, which can be used either insultingly or neutrally, depending on the context and who is speaking. |

Stellaris: "Xeno" is a popular one among xenophobic empires. Empires who hold you in poor esteem will call you specific insults based on whichever in-game category your species belongs to. Humanoids get called "monkeys", mammalians "beasts", reptilians "lizards" or "newts", avians "birds", "chickens", "dodos" or "buzzards", arthropoids "bugs", molluscoids "parasites", fungoids "shrooms", plantoids "weeds", lithoids "rocks", necroids "husks", and machines "tin cans" or "toasters". This is inverted with species-specific compliments from empires that like you: in this case, humanoids get called "angels", mammalians "sphinxes", reptilians "dragons", avians "phoenixes", arthropoids "scarabs", molluscoids "krakens", fungoids "chanterelles", plantoids "roses", lithoids "gems", necroids "specimens", and machines "technological marvels" or "elegant automatons". |

Star Trek: Ex Machina has the Vulcan V'tosh Ka'tur (lit; "one without logic"). Of course, while Vulcans would never do such a thing as actually call someone a slur, the ones who use it in this novel sure throw it at Spock like one. A very emotional reaction, all told. | |

In Jonathan Strouds The Bartimaeus Trilogy, the titular charakter finds the word "demon" to be highly insulting, and prefers that people call him a spirit, djinni, or "exalted djinni". | |

Star Trek: Voyager: The half-Klingon B'Elanna Torres was referred to as "Ms. Turtlehead" by human children as a girl. It hurt enough to remain a Berserk Button for her as an adult. (In the Expanded Universe, Klingons are sometimes referred to as "turtleheads" or "ridgeheads.") | |

The RCN series adopts a racist term from English — "wog" — with the alteration that it no longer has anything to do with skin color. In the eyes of Cinnabar's spacers, you can be whatever race or ethnicity (including as blond, blue-eyed, and whiter than white as a Nazi's wet dream), but you're still a wog if you're not from Cinnabar. | |

A Voice Among the Strangers: Jessica's arrival in Equestria coincides with a series of inconsistent rumours of an unfamiliar monster around Fillydelphia. She is promptly captured, caged and put in a monster sideshow as the "Foal-Hunter", and the nickname takes a long to shake off, even after she's escaped and proven that she's sapient and not a threat to them. | |

Babylon 5: 'Bonehead' for Minbari among humans, and 'Snakehead' as a generic term for non-humans. Interestingly, this seems to be a human thing, as none of the often equally racist aliens bother to come up with these kinds of slurs for humans, or each other. Bonehead still has its original meaning, which led to a few awkward situations. In the pilot, a Minbari warrior taunts Sinclair by saying "You have a hole in your mind!" — Delenn later tells Sinclair that this is a repulsive Minbari insult. Subverted, however, as it's clear that the Minbari is referencing Sinclair's partial amnesia of the Battle of the Line, and that Delenn (who is partially responsible for wiping Sinclair's memory) is hiding something from him. Psi Corps telepaths, especially those with telepath-supremacist beliefs, call normal humans 'mundanes', a response to the term 'normal' being used to mean 'not a Telepath'. |

In Ravenmark: The Scourge of Estellion, "crow" is a frequently used insult within The Empire, seen as the dark side of their revered bird, the raven Corvii. The Kaysani frequently call Tellions (the people of the Empire of Estellion) "crow-eaters". The Tellions reciprocate by calling them "suneaters", due to the Kaysani being sun-worshipers. The Tellions also call the Cardani elves "rat-men" due to their short, hunched-over stature, savage behavior, and large numbers. The slur "crow" is also used in the name of the Imperial assassins, the Crowseers, since their job is to seek out and eliminate any "crows" (i.e. traitors) within the Empire. | |

Transformers sometimes refer to humans as 'insects' (despite humans not being insects), although obviously not when they transform into insects. Also, the term "mudflap" is roughly analogous to "bumpkin" (although in Cybertronian slang, it seems to usually take the place of "ass"). Some Decepticons have been heard referring to humans by the common "robot's anti-human term" of Fleshling. "Squishy" and "puny flesh creature" are also favorites. "Archaic Energon Guzzlers" was a term used by Beast-Era Megatron to describe the Autobots and Decepticons, and the term has since spread to the greater Transformers' mythos as a slur from Micromasters to the larger Macromasters and beyond. | |

The Witcher: Elves refer to humans as "d'hoine". While it is the word in Elder Speech that literally means "human", it is almost solely used in derogatory manner. Humans who sell supplies to the Scoia'tael are referred to as hav'caaren, which basically means "rapaciously greedy" in Elder speech. |
