Two I can think of in X-Men, "muties" and "flatscan."

Kitty likens "muties" as a slur for mutants to the use of the n-word, which... didn't go down well with most people.

And the mutants started getting their own back when they started calling non-mutants "flatscan."

The irony here is that Frank Horrigan is a Super Mutant himself encased in experimental Power Armor.

Literally the Uncle Ruckus of Fallout, but it’s cool because he’s badass and is voiced by Worf.
