I like "cloudbreathers."

Spahro's tossed out "Illiterate Tribals" on occasion for both Keepers and seekers.
"Wittle" seems to piss off Lalas a lot. Â "Who's a wittle man in his armor? Â Who's a tough wittle guy? Â Yes oo is."

I think I remember seeing somewhere that saying a Highlander's mother was a Sea Wolf is considered to be an insult worth fighting over.

Your mother was a seawolf, and your father smelled of O'Ghomoro Berries!

It's mentioned once or twice, but there's an actual FATE in South Shroud at Buscarron's Druthers that starts off this concept, I believe.

Knife-Ears is my favorite. I've only had rare occasion to use it IC, since Aya usually keeps her cool (and her facade). But it came out in a conversation when an Ishgardian friend really wanted to get into it about Ishgardian politics. Something felt really cathartic about having Aya let loose with it!

Au Ra - Alligator kin
Highlander - Shark Face (seriously put a picture of a Great White Shark next to the next highland face you see)
Miq'ote - Eh heh heh. . . not going to say it. >_>Â
Lalafell - Traffic cones

RE: Post your Favorite Lore Appropriate Racial Slurs - Edgar - 08-07-2015
Edgar tries not to get into racial slurs, which is difficult, as he comes from a place where you'd obviously expect everyone to swear like sailors. However, he has been known to break this code if pressured enough. He can be a bit creative.
Seekers: Hotbloods, Slit-eyes
Keepers: Wide-eyes, Snowskins
Roegadyn: Flatfaces

From Dragon Age.
Elezen = Knife Ears
RE: Post your Favorite Lore Appropriate Racial Slurs - Okichi - 08-09-2015
My Xaela isn't particularly fond of Raen. She'll call them whitescales, even if she knows their name already.
She calls Miqo'te fuzz-ears, mostly due to not really knowing the actual name for them yet.
RE: Post your Favorite Lore Appropriate Racial Slurs - Kurt S. - 08-09-2015
After some IC stuff that's happened. Kat's got it into her head all Elezen are in some way 'Dhalmel F**kers' but tries not to address them as such. Keyword tries. But c'moooon those necks and limbs.
Then there was also that one time she called a certain seeker 'budget whore' and is one of her go to's when dealing with seekers in general.
