    Default Writing Exercise: Hyrulean slurs

    So, I just posted in the RP a few minutes ago, and came up with an insult for a Lizalfos character, 'scale-foot'. Immediately, I got to thinking, since Hyrule in this lore is a land of xenophobic bigots, there is no doubt a fair bit of racial tension. I am not one to promote racism in any fashion, but I feel that having made up racial slurs (in the RP at least) can help spice up the flavor for character interactions, especially those that hold a grudge.

    So here's what I propose - we play a brainstorming game, and see if we can come up with at least three to five racial slurs for every race/faction in the HTW universe.

    Grab some popcorn and let your inhibitions go.

    Not really slurs, per se, but I do have a few themed curses and such.

    "Son of a Blin!"

    "Farore's tits!"

    The Hylians tend to keep the Ordonians poorly, so Onirix calls them "knife-ears". It's a bit lazy to steal elf slurs, but then again, I'm insane, so make what you will of that.

    Call Gerudos "sand sluts"?

    The only Zora ideas I have are too graphic to post on a forum that isnt 4chan.

    I guess the Dekus are "nuts", hardy har har.

    It probably says something unfortunate about my personality that I jumped onto this so enthusiastically.

    No, it just means you think like me!

    (In hindsight, that probably means you're fast-tracked for Hell xD)

    As I said, let go of your inhibitions. This Hyrule is a filthy place. Let it all out here, you're safe. Think of the worst of the worst you can. Seriously though, PM me those Zora ones.

    I have some Goron slur attempts. Not exactly the most colorful or mature, but it's something.

    "Lead-head", "Ash-eyes", "polished", "Eat Quartz and die.", "Geode-for-brains"

    1) To quote a name from Neph.
    "Don't touch that Yucca Scrub!"
    .
    "You don't know were it's been."
    (Now Yucca Scrub can be used for the new Deku Tribes Faction. )

    2) For the Darknuts, We will use a classic.
    "Rusting Tin Cans"
    .

    3) For the Wizzrobes or any magic unit in general.
    "Wind Bags"
    .

    4) For Some thing use with Gohma.
    "Spider Bate"
    .

    5) Not really an insult for Lanayru Province, But...
    "Romeo And Juleat."
    .
    Ok. Now for one. "You Fish Lover."

    Stalfos/Ikanian: Gutless/brainless (punpunpunpun~~~), spawn of Termina
    Ordonian: horse-lover (also apply to the Gerudo)
    Gerudo: slave of the dogs
    Darknut: dog/cur
    Universal: Majora be damned (yes, I stole this.), there is a special place in Termina for you, servant of the three whores

    I'll probably come up with more real soon

    I can see Zora being referred to as various breeds of fish. Less intelligent individuals would just say 'fish' (happened in the RP's arcs 2-3 methinks), but concentrating on a particular species may have more comic potential (at least, comic for the speaker).
    "Oi you, Halibut!"

    Moblins: Pigs, obviously. Variations such as Bacon are available.

    Given that the Darknut have vassalised the Gerudo in the RP, being able to use 'b**ches' seems too good to be true. Then again TWC may not take too kindly to its use.
    Meanwhile, Hylians tried coming up with a racial slur for Gerudo on their own, but they eventually decided there was nothing more insulting than 'Gerudo'....

    Kokiri: Kids (or depending on region of origin, Babbies / Bairns)

    Darknut: Teapots, or maybe Kettles. Given their weapon choices, using the Agincourt Salute will either be offensive (guess what, i can kill you with these!) or have no effect whatsoever (yeah, so you fight like a coward, so what?). Probably best to use a "nyuuuuuuuuuh!" sound as well, to drive the point home.

    Wizzrobe: Budgies.

    That was the joke

    "Pull on the gene pool" suggests that the local gene pool is "crying out for outsiders."

    well, maybe more of a gene puddle...

    Any ideas on how we should approach Hylians? Other than the 'bigot' and 'Goddesses' lapdogs' I'm not sure what's an easy target about them.

    other than, "how does a Hylian screw in a lightbulb?"

    TALOS PRESERVE ME, THAT'S BRILLIANT

    Well, Onirix officially HAS to move the Great Sea thread eventually. He'll panic when he meets the Rito because he'll think they're demon cuckoo spawn.
