Empire-Specific Derogatory Terms Brainstorm

[Geist]

In the other thread some people pointed out that Smurfs, Elmos, and Barnies are becoming a bit aged, so we should invent new derogatory terms to use in the new game.

So, what do you guys think should replace the long used words used to beat down the morale of the enemy? What can possibly become the successors of the 3 words most used in any PS veterans vocabulary?

Some thoughts: It should be 1-2 syllables, children's icon is preferred, but anything that is reasonably demeaning can work. Should be reasonably well-known, so the enemy knows your demeaning him.

Some Ideas:
Eggman/men for TR(Villain from sonic, red and black, round like TR armor)
Grims for VS(Short for Grimace from McDonalds)

Not really that great I admit, so hoping you guys can come up with something better, although I beginning to wonder if nothing is as good as what came before.

Van00bs has always been a good one

New Clownies is my favourite, NC have always looked like clowns

everytime they attacked a base in PS1 it always reminded me of Starship Troopers at the fort scene where they scream bugs, just replace bugs with clowns.


It's strange tho I've never been able to come up with a derogatory term for the TR... crazy eh?

[Grimster]

smurfs, elmos and barnies is excellent why try to change that?

Canaris: That you as a TR has problems using your imagination is not surprising. ;-)

Smurfs, Elmos, Barnies seems fine to me.

Vanoobs always seemed more commonly used than Barnies when I played the game.

Funny you would say that (An all time classic if you ask me)

Back when I was playing NC (please strike this from the record) we always called the VS fishheads or fishes
(based on the perceived fishlike shape/scaly texture of their helmets)

oops sorry

Based purely upon Matt Higby's dietary eating habits, and a noticeable trend throughout the development cycle:

In TR week he had varying types of greasy cheeseburgers.
NC week he's moved onto new age deli sandwiches with tasty bread .
I can only guess VS week will be mixtures of Tofu salads , lentils and fruit salad.

From this I deduce that the following should be true :-

TR will be known as Grease-monkeys
NC will be known as Yuppy's
VS will be known as the Vegimites

TR: Losers
NC: The Other Losers
VS: Too Awesome For Their Own Good (taftog)

Great, we're Grapes... lol

So that makes TR Strawberry (shortcake?)

And NC to be Piss-water Coors light! (ohhhh this is THE most insulting title IMHO) Y'all can drop some blueberries in there too, to give that piss water some flavor and all
