Need some Fantasy insults...

[Nanoblack]

Pretty soon I'm going to be playing an anti-elf necromancer, so I though I'd plan ahead for some creative language to throw around in-game.

So far I have "twiglings" and "Leafbloods". I wish to put those arrogant tree-dwellers in their place so any help is appreciated.

Insult List:

Spoiler

Show

Orc-bait
Dew-drinkers
Knife-ear
Dandilion eater
Tree-fairies
Spearears.
Featherweight.
Drowkin.
Olf (sounding closer to Oaf when your character deems appropriate.)
Yesterman/Yesterfolk.
"Bend over and take it like an elf"
"Keep coming up with different sorts of you, longears, you'll get it right eventually."
pointy-eared people who excel at poverty
moss-chewer
root-rider
albino drow

EDIT: Sidenote... If you have any ideas for flavorful ways to be "Anti-elf" I'd like to hear it.

EDIT 2: As well as any item recommendations for items or weapons that'll aid me in my endeavors to rub salt in their wounds.

"Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelled of elderberries!"

[Prime32]

So far I have "twiglings" and "Leafbloods".

How could someone have leaves for blood?

Seems like a good opportunity to call someone a sap though.


EDIT: Pointy-eared pansies.

[Nanoblack]

"Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelled of elderberries!"

Haha very good but I'm looking for something a bit more serious. I want it to sound a bit more like a racial slur that fits properly into the setting without sounding gaudy. (I hope I don't get into trouble from the admins for this... its purely for better RP)

[Yora]

"Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelled of elderberries!"

Damn! That was exactly what I was thinking when I saw the threat title!

[valadil]

I think you'll have an easier time insulting their high class snootiness than their hippie ways. Self deprecate around them. Bow and refer to them by titles drenched in sarcasm. Then insult their hippieness.

"Why yes, Lord Treef*****, of course you should be the one to count the gold from the treasure. I'd devalue it with my human musk, assuming I could count coins half so well as your lordship."

[Telonius]

Orc-bait
Dew-drinkers

[Chiron0224]

From dragonage: Knife-ear
From Shadowrun: Dandilion eater
From me: Tree-fairies

[Nanoblack]

I'll be adding everything posted down here to the list in the OP.

[CoffeeIncluded]

Pointy-eared bastards

[Toric]

Racial slurs for elves you say? Let's see what comes off the top of my head.

Spearears. Semi-ninja'd
Featherweight.
Drowkin.
Olf (sounding closer to Oaf when your character deems appropriate.)
Yesterman/Yesterfolk.

[Xallace]

Some other ways to be anti-elf:

If something is ridiculous and unnecessary, assume it's elven. (i.e. "You can Rebuke Hippos? What is that, some kinda Elven spell?") If you find out that such a thing is not elven, apologize profusely for the comparison.

Refuse to eat elven food, or imbibe elven drink. Not directly because its elven, but with how long they take to do anything you figure it's probably gone bad by the time it gets to your plate.

Be attracted to drow.

Quick question that may help this: Are the elves in your setting eldritch abominations/total bastards/both? Why is your character prejudiced against them?

(In my comic, in the world named Aequar, nearly everybody thinks that the elves are a race of total bastards, but they're not. If anything, they're extremely friendly cloudcuckoolanders. One of the main characters hates elves mostly because they're naturally dexterous and good at magic, but that's because, although they're much closer to humans and other humanoid races, elves are distant cousins of the actual fey in Aequar, and the fey races are all extremely magical in nature.)

[Spiryt]

Mother****

Not fantasy but always works.



Seriously though, it would entirely depend on reasons etc of his/her racism and hate, so setting and PC story specific.

Anyway, if you're male, winking suggestively to an elf male (that you know is male, but...) or vice versa.

Alternatively something like "you flat board", again directed to elf guy.

[Nanoblack]

They are one of two sides in a massive war that's been going on since he was a kid. He had been taken and tortured when he was younger and even though all of this happened on Elven territory, it was the an order of human paladins that rescued him.

Thats the main reason, but also because of their aloofness and arrogance despite them being physically less "durable".

[CoffeeIncluded]

Ah, so they're your traditional elves.

Don't let him interrogate a captive elf.

[Form]

If your character does something better than an elf make sure to rub it in their face, especially if it's something elves are supposed to be good at. If an elf fails at something they're supposed to be good at, remind them of their gross incompetence and point out that even at their best they're still rubbish.

You play a necromancer? Express disdain for 'elven biological materials' when talking about necromancy. Going too far with using necromany to annoy elves may result in getting attacked by them though.

Haha no one would ever see the elf again...

He also has the construction of an underground fighting ring planned. Him being a necromancer, he wants to have a Land of the Dead-esque zombie arena. There'll be gambling and everything! His elf-hate has him so excited!

Side-note: Smart necromancers only talk about necromancy to other necromancers. Actually in this game everybody just sees him as the charismatic doctor/mortician/alchemist.

Well, he could still express disdain for elven biology as a doctor/mortician if the oppertunity arises. Just don't make any remarks about necromancy when he does so.

[Wubs]

Gender confusion is also good for any npc elf male as an insult.

Tree Harpy (since they always seem to screech like harpies about nature)
Stick up yer arse
Freedom Blightin' Elves
Twick (Twig + ****)
Pansy Pushers
Posie Prancers
Vegan (modern term, might be derogatory in a fantasy setting though)

[AtwasAwamps]

"Human wannabe"

[Spiryt]

Gender confusion is also good for any npc elf male as an insult.

"Fried eggs" ?

[Zeta Kai]

"Your mother slept with a human! All your mothers slept with a human!!"

[Kurald Galain]

"You fight like a dairy farmer!"

[Snake-Aes]

Fairy ****ers come to mind.

[PId6]

"You have a Constitution penalty and suck for all classes!"

"You fight like a dairy farmer!"

"Well you fight like a cow!"

[Snake-Aes]

Tree Humpers.

[jiriku]

"Face like the south end of a northbound ogre, if you know what I mean."

[JBento]

Express your disdain for elves even when disparaging non-elves.

"Bend over and take it like an elf" became an instant favourite of mine ever since I saw it on these boards (I didn't come up with it - will the real slim insulter please stand up, please stand up?)

[Telonius]

"Keep coming up with different sorts of you, longears, you'll get it right eventually."
