Help me come up with racial slurs for various fictional races.

The best one I have so far is to call Elves Keeblers.

we're looking for slurs, not to start a war

Assuming you are using the normal races
>Humans: Shortlived, pinks, gold-palms, pale-backs
>Elves: Knife-ears, treefs (tree fuckers)
>Dwarves: Coal-hands, garden moles, dirt-draggers
>Orcs: Truffles, mud-sloppers
>Halflings: Halflings, less'n'me
>Gnomes: Door-stops, undertoes

Of course what would be best is to give each race their own slurs for each other race
>>
>Elves - Innovatives, Adaptables
>Dwarves - Gnomes
>Halflings - Dwarves
>Gnomes - Gnomes
>Orcs - Smarties
>Humans - Elf Fuckers

>>47017574
My dwarves/halflings/gnomes call anyone taller than them "scrapers" on the account that when they enter a short race domicile they're always scraping their heads on the ceiling.
>>
>>47018088
Okay then
Humans:
>Elves: Knife-ears, treefuckers
>Dwarves: Shortround, rockfuckers
>Orcs: Greenies, greendicks
>Halflings: Halflings, littledicks
>Gnomes: Gnomes, littledicks
Elves
>Humans: Brats, children
>Dwarves: Mudsifters, toymakers
>Orcs: Brutes, savages
>Halflings: Simplefolk, dullfolk
>Gnomes: Children, Gaudyfolk
Dwarves
>Humans: Tall pricks, horny bastards
>Elves: 'Mr/Mrs High-n-Mighty', nyaff
>Orcs: walloper, hackit
>Halflings: wee men, skinny
>Gnomes: Wee namblies, jessies
Orcs
>Humans: Humies
>Elves: Elfies
>Dwarves: Dwarfies
>Halflings: Haffings
>Gnomes: Gnomies
Halflings
>various irish-style insults, almost always different
Gnomes
>various shitty childish insults, like poopoo head
>>
>>47017836
>halflings: cucks
If anything, he's trying to cuck the elf guy, pretty sure that means he's a bull
>>
>>47017963
James Francelf laughs at this halflings attempt at romance.
>>
>>47017836
Isnt it a gnome actually?
>>
>>47017574
It would be insulting to refer to Hobgoblins and Bugbears as "Goblins."
>>
Assuming standard D&D kind of setting.

Halfling is an insult in itself. Basically saying they're barely even half of a human.

I think an elf should be hit with something that reminds them of their dwindling population and how they cower in the woods etc.

Dwarves and Gnomes I honestly don't know.

Half-orcs would just be anything that reference their filthy orcblood and how they are prone to violence. Should they respond with more violence, that only makes it better.
>>
>>47017583
>the "I liked Dragon Age" flavor of the week

It's more of an insult to yourself, if anything

Every time.

Elves: Limp dicks, stick shitters?
Dwarves: Rock fuckers
Gnomes: assuming tech-loving, neets?

Using a standard curse word and adding something roughly related to the race is the lowest level of slur, best exemplified by the (relatively) recent slurs for Middle Eastern people. Part of the allure of "Knife-ears" or "Dagger-ears" is that it uses regular words compounded in a way that draws attention to a physical feature of the Elves in a negative. So on similar lines you have to come up with something that when said will be degrading without being over-the-top. Adding "fucker" "shitter" or "nigger" to a name is just so tryhard, it has to flow smoothly. Sticking with Elves, you could call them "twigs" to point out their slender, fragile frame, or even "saplings" if you want to get creative, calling them small but also young, which might be insulting to an elf, especially coming from someone with a much shorter lifespan.

Halflings and Gnomes are pretty easy. Because they're so small you can just compare them to, and treat them like, children. Dwarves might also call them "Half-pint" so we stick to the good ol' stereotype of BEER AND ALE. If a race is cannibalistic/consumes the flesh of sapient races (such as Gnolls or Lizardfolk) you could have them refer to members of other races they speak to as though they were future meals. Not much more unnerving than the idea that the guy you're trying to trade with is more concerned with how to season you. Elven slurs for others are probably high-brow stuff, crafted to make them seem even more intelligent and the other races seem like dumb, clumsy brutes.

That's already a slur for elves in Shadowrun.

>>47017574
>Elves
Knife ear, tree hugger/humper, grandpa

>Dwarfs
Dirt eater, gold fuckers

>Orcs
Vegetable tooth, boar-elf

>Halflings
Gnome, skinny dwarf

>Gnome
Halfling, skinny Dwarf
>>
>>47019221
It was used for a long ass time before Dragon Age you fucking moron.
>>
Orcs are pretty easy. Pigs, Greenies, Tuskers, Slopes (referring to their low, sloping foreheads), Filth (not as in Orcish filth - they're just "the Filth"), etc..

Dwarves are pretty easy too. Shaggies, fluffies, trogs, shroomies, rats (or rat-eaters), mites (does double-duty - stalagmite and a short joke), half-pint (thanks, >>47019445), drunks, roaches.

Elves aren't quite as easy, but there's still some good ones. I've always hated knife-ear, but spikies works. Twigs, creepers, spookies, deer, bark-humper (shortened to barkie), snooties... Maybe they're just not sparking my creativity?

Halflings are really hard to distinguish from dwarves. Just pick and choose. I really like dwarves being rats and halflings being nice, though.
>>
>>47019641
Mice, not nice. I mean, I do kind of like halflings being the nice race, but that's not what this thread is for.
>>
>>47017574
You mean Elf, Dwarf and Halfling aren't already slurs?
>>
>>47019445
I had a character who called elves twigs. On the surface it was because of them being thin and weak, but eventually the topic of half-elves came up and the double meaning behind it came clear.
>Of course it's always a human father, you think a woman could get any pleasure from one of those little twigs?
>>
Elves - pineheads, sapbloods, willowbones, relics, the danty folk

Dwarves - molemen, alebags, midgetmen, fluff-face, pebbles, stubs

Orcs - greenskin, boarface, half-apes, flatheads, the taint

Halflings - halfmen, bushburners, minnows, bite-size

Humans - juniors, weeds, blights, the premature

These should be switched

>>47020399
Halfling I thought was a slur, is what people called hobbits. Because they were half men.
>>
>>47020547
Well it's become normal, like black people adopting nigga. Also because hobbit is copyrighted or some shit
>>
Elves: Splinters
Orcs: Green Slime
Hobbit/halfling/gnome/dorf: Slime-Snack, Snack size, starters.
Skeletons: Toothpicks, Boned.
>>
Dwarf: Lawn ornament
>>
>>47020644
Only works in settings where gnomes aren't a thing.
>>
>>47020659
It could work for any of the shorter, humanoid races desu.
