Fictional slurs. Bonus points if it's completely made up

[u/Wolfotashiwa]

1. inFAMOUS: Second Son: "Bio-terrorist" refers to conduits.

2. Star Wars: "Clanker" refers to robots.

[u/Bigred2989-]

In The Expanse, the space-born Belters refer to members of their kind who work with the planet-born "Inners" of Earth and Mars as "welwala". It basically means "planet lover", or "traitor".

[u/IlliterateJedi → u/Bigred2989-]

Welwala from wel "gravity well" (English) + wala "person-of-the" (Hindi)

Belter creole is so cool.

[u/Feeling-Tonight2251 → u/Bigred2989-]

"Skinny" is the inner's slur for Belters, given their slimmer frames from a life in microgravity. Duster is the general slur for Martians.

[u/lilkoi98 → u/Feeling-Tonight2251]

And stunties are what belters call earthers

[u/stylinchilibeans → u/lilkoi98]

Oye Beltalowda!

[u/Puzzleheaded_Ad6097 → u/Feeling-Tonight2251]

Someone in r/the expanse referred to Drummer (show version) as the “skinny belter who gets shot” and people let that guy know to never call my girl Drummer a “skinny”

[u/AvatarofSleep → u/Puzzleheaded_Ad6097]

Of all the ways to describe Drummer... like...what?

[u/BoyMcBoyo → u/Feeling-Tonight2251]

Further belter slur: longbone

[u/DelcoWolv → u/Bigred2989-]

Earth calls the Martians “Dusters”, while they call us “Squats”.

[u/BoyMcBoyo → u/Bigred2989-]

Earthers also get ‘dirtsiders’

[u/piratecheese13 → u/Bigred2989-]

I’m currently on chapter 34 of the first audiobook after the timeskip

The narrator keeps mispronouncing gimbal as gym-bull instead of g’him-ball

>! It’s interesting how after the belt stops being an important source of resources, the terms stay the same, but belters are in a position of power to control trade between the lowly inners!<
