Hey, just got a few things that I'm not sure how to say in Ork Jargon.
Fell free to correct any I get wrong, and I would love to know the ones I haven't listed:
Humans- 'Umiez Eldar- Panziez
Tyranids- 'Nidz? Chaos- Spikiez
I don't know any other race names, but would like to know.
Also, anything else? I don't think Nidz is what orks would call Tyranids, but just a guess.

They call them Eldar in the DoW2 games anyway.
Well, most of the time.
But "panzee" is also not uncommon.
And they seem to call tyranids "nids" or "bugs".
Space Marines are "tin-can 'umies"
Chaos cultists are "crazy chaos gits"

The people in the past who convinced themselves to do unspeakable things were no less human than you or I. They made their decisions; the only thing that prevents history from repeating itself is making different ones.

In DoW2 ive heard Orks refer to Eldar as "Fancy Gitz" on more than one occasion 
They also reffer to Chaos simply as "Crazy 'Oomies" quite often as well
|
They say the Emperor protects; tell that to the Orks. |

For the record regarding Tau.
Fish Head is a racial slur for Asians.
You can find this on the movie Gran Torino.
And did I just laugh, thinking of an Ork calling a Tau a fish 'ead.
Made my day... ah racism. <3
