Derogatory terms for Orcs

Grunt or Grunter in my homebrew campaign. (Where for the most part they are the victims of an invasion by the 'civilized' humans and dwarfs. Think 'Aboriginal Native' rather than ' Bloodthirsty Monster'.)

Racism is alive and well in that world.

The Auld Grump
 



About 15 years ago, my group had a name for orcs that was so wonderfully offensive that I fear using it in polite company.

Consider yourself fairly warned.

Piggers
 

The only terms I really remember players in my campaign use is "gobbo" for the goblins. As a DM, I'd have the bad guys call PC dwarves "stumpies".
 

In the Realms:
Orcs: the Mighty (orcs, of themselves), Slaugh (= “pigs” among some elves; this term literally translates as “mud-wallowing-dogs,” and is beginning to be heard in use by half-elves, dryads, and some other forest-dwelling folk).
