Subject: What would an Ork call <insert here>?

Drop Trooper with Demo Charge

Searching the interwebs I found one or two sites that had an impressive collection of Ork terminology, but nothing about what an Ork calls other races.
Could someone enlighten me to what Orks call Necrons, or Eldar, or Chaos Space Marines? Heck if you could toss in any Ork vocabulary at all it would be helpful. Much thanks in advance.

I know they call Eldar pointy eads. Im sure you can see why
Chaos - spikey boyz
Necrons, I dont think Ive seen an Ork reference a Necron before. Probably shoiny git or some such.
You could look up the WAAAAGH orks book(from 1990) it has a good section in there about Ork writing and language. The current dex even has a page on the stuff.

I think Necrons are Tin'eads.
Chaos are definitely Spikey boyz.
I always thought Eldar were Panzees, but I could be wrong about that.
Humans are oomies or pinkies.
Space Marines are beakies, because of the older marks of battle armor.
For Ork vocabulary, I'd download Gorkamorka. That has got to be chock full of Orkisms.

Yea tin eads. I remembered it as soon as I read that lol
Also I scanned a page from the WAAAGH Orks book. Theres a reference in there that explains something rather well. I cut that section out and then post it up to show you. Automatically Appended Next Post: This vehicle belongs to Ugwaort Blueface, a member of the Evil Sunz Clan currently in the serive of Warlord Gutreg.
Translates as :
Og kart ug-wort grim-zod uz-bad waa gut-dreg
This picture is the glyphs and runes as its written in Ork
Literal translation is
Owns-vehicle Ugwort-Blueface, Evil-Sunz, Gutdregs tribe.
Hope this is something else your looking for

So, what would they call an Eldar Farseer? Panzee Wyrdboy?
What about Tau? Isn't it Fish'eds?

I don't think they have a codified set of terms for everything. Especially for things like Necrons, where they're not going to be well-known enough for there to be a common word for them.
However, some guesses:
Humans - Oomies, Pinkies, Squishies
Eldar - Panzees, Pointy Eads/Ears
Space Marines - Beekies, Ard Oomies
Tau - Fish Eads, Tauz
Necrons - Tin Eads, Toastas, Worky Boys
Daemons - Gribblies, Warp Squigs
Chaos Marines - Spiky Beekies

The Emperor doesn't seem to do much for you but you sure are expected to be mutilated, suffer, and die to make him happy. And is he dead or what? If he's entombed that would mean he's dead as a doornail, right? So, how can he be happy about anything you do, or even give orders to anyone? Are you worshipping the dead now? Is that something you'd really want to do? Because it sounds freaking creepy to me.

In DoW Dark Crusade, I remember Gorgutz refering to Necrons as "Shiny 'umies" and Chaos as "Chaos Boyz." But for Chaos, I've also seen "Spiky Boyz" and "Spiky 'umies"

erm, =/ KingCracker, I'm trying to dig up reasonably "cannon" terms. So far I think Orkeosaurus has brought the best to the table.

Four scholars at Oxford were making their way down the street, and happened to see a group of ladies of the evening. “What’s this?” said the first. “A jam of tarts?” “Nay,” said the second, “an essay of Trollope’s.” “Rather, a flourish of strumpets,” advanced the third. “No, gentlemen,” concluded the last. “Here we have an anthology of pros.” |

Everything is a panzee compared to an Ork. Thats how they think. How many times does it take you guys to type the same exact things?
