Your habitants/species derrogative terms

Postby Aleine » Sat Jul 09, 2011 8:44 am

What are the derogative terms used for your citizens / species by other nations?

We are often called tree huggers, not because we are hippies, but becuase we actually hug trees and change our skin color and pattern to that of the tree in order to hide, this technique is often used in ambushes by the Aleine Army and Marines.

We're called Tree-Huggers because of our environmentalist policies and religion.

We're often called mad scientists just because our main focus is the fine art of Science. So much, in fact, that there are two classes of society: Citizens and Scientists.

Quite a few things I am certain, most of them seems to revolve around our tricornes for some reason, because of jealously is the most common theory.

as for what we call people so would this suffice as a rough guide:
b]Hungarians[/b][/align]
Gulasch: a term for the people of the realm of Hungary that while it is not considered entirely proper is still used when they mess something up (flygande gulasch can also be used when referring to their fondness for airborne infantry) as it is the translation for goulash in Imerian.

Ramsets

Airheads/luftskallar: A term for Ramsets referring to their concentration on the development of aeroplanes.
sandbox people/sandlåds folk: The common Imerian opinion that Ramsetia is just one big desert (aka sandbox)
Wroooms: a bad imitation of a aeroplane engine.

Wolohani

Thiefs/tjuvar: a reference to the fact that Wolohanis can't keep their hands off things that do not belong to them
Dirtskins/smutsskin: A reference to the scientifically proven fact that Wolohanis does not bathe and wash properly... and that they smell

Neo Prutenians

Grötkäft (Porridge mouth): While Prutenians talk and talk (due to their republican form of government) so do they still sounds as if they have their mouth full of porridge and it is impossible to understand one word they try to say due to their strange native tongue.

Tyrannians

Blacks (often preceded by a long line of words that should not be repeated): a reference to the colour of their flag.

Israslovakahzerbajans

Kattaron (cat ears): a reference to the Israslovaakahzerbajans love for Nekoes
Nekophiles: Same as above
Iscannotsaythenamans / Igskanejsaganamnetns: "I cannot say the name" or "jig kan ej saga namnet" in Imerian but made to sound more like Israslovaakahzerbajan as Imerians are incapable to pronounce the name of their nation despite numerous attempts.

Nicksyllvanians

Tobacco and booze: The smell most Nicksyllvanians carry with them as a thick blanket which have become synonymous with them and alcoholics and chain smokers in the federation.
saucer heads: A reference to the saucer caps they wear

Inutoland

Rüdskin (redskin): Self explanatory
nagel bugare (nail bowers): Imerians laughs heartily at their attempts to speak as proper people and the term comes from the closest words in Imerian that they try to say over and over for some strange reason which makes most Imerians scratch their heads in confusion.
Jungle people: self explanatory
Sengangare (sloths): comes from the general opinion that Inutos are as slow as their sloths and just as lazy as they buggers around on those aircushion machines instead of using canoes as one would expect.

Jalanat

Jallies: Rather obvious
Sne stirare: from the Imerian sentence "Jig gillar ej XXXX di stirar snet pa mig!" (literary: I do not like XXXX they do look at me sideways, Actually: I do not like XXXX they look at me weird) which is a reference to the shape of Asians eyes.
Jumpidy jumpers: A reference to their love for kangaroos
Kango jally: A mix of both above.

Saurisisia

Valnöter (walnuts): A reference the size of the average reptilian brain.
Nötskallar (nutheads) See above
snorosaurus: Reptilians are lazy and sleep when the sun is as hottest which resulted in the combination of "snore" and "saurous" for dinosaurs.
Fakeosaurus: A term that have arisen from the fact that they are in fact not real dinosaurs but genetically modified ones that tries their best to imitate the perfection of humanity while failing miserable at that.
Cold brains/bloods: A common reference to reptilians in general.
egg layers: a reference to the fact that dinosaurs lay eggs which they then simply abandon instead of caring for their young which is also a term given to bad parents.

Wallenbergia

Wally: a rather mild term whos origins are rather obvious
Not-Imerians: Having rather many similarities with Imerians, vedians and Erathians are there not much to poke fun at without burning ourselves so they got the somewhat derogatory name "Not-Imerians" because even if they are close so are they not quite there jet.
kemikalie barbarians/chemical savages: due to their own regiments serving in the federation having the habit of painting their own faces and attempted to use chemicals on some occasions.

Orlkjestad

murhaaja: Erathian for murderer which arose over the fact that it was Oelkjestadian marines that murdered the former duke of Ertahia.
Orlkjes: Rather obvious.
felskallar ( wrong heads): Having something of a superiority complex are they mostly laughed at by most federal subjects as everyone knows that it is in fact the absolute royal federation that is the superior state
Gröt mumblare (porridge mumblers): a word for most non-Imerian Scandinaviods and Germanoids as they seems to mumble all the time and while you can understand what they say if you listen carefully but it still sounds as if they have their mouths filled with porridge when they do so.
djupfickor (deep pockets): well they are greedy bastards not shunning any means to accomplish their goals which the old Erathian duke learned the hard way.

Rastynhaven

Östroskallar (estroheads): being a reference to the widespread feminism in Rastynhaven and literary means Estrogen heads.
Rast-i-haven (rust in the ocean): with a name as that so are they often the subject for much laugh in the federation
Byxlösa (pantless): from the common knowledge that men in Rastyhaven wear skirts all the time in the name of equality.
Trumslagare (drummers): another comment on their feminine nature
Vilka? (who?): a rather common response when the nation comes up in conversation.

the kangaroo republics

överväxta råttor mid grodlar (oversized rats with frog legs): They are kangaroos after all.
Jumpers: Rather obvious
kangies: obvious.

Well, the most common derogative term for the Dragonkin is a slur;
"Princess Kidnapper"

May not make sense to some, but to us, it's considered extremely offensive, being a nation of sentient, well mannered Dragons.
