Insults for my goblin baddies to toss at the PCs

[NewJeffCT]

who are mostly human, with an elf and an eladrin in the mix as well.

What would goblins look to mock/make fun of?

Thanks

Call the tough-looking ones "stew".

Call the weak-looking ones "veal".

So, if one of the tough ones is a Ranger with a bow, the goblins would instruct their allies to "get the bow-stew!"

The Wizard would be called "wand-veal".

Cheers, -- N

"You call that a ten-foot pole?"


"Some girlfriend! Oops. I didn't mean to insult your mule."


"The Amazons stopped by. They want their breastplates back."

"Pigskin" - cause humans and elves have a similar color skin to pigs, at least from a goblin's PoV.
"Stickthin", "Pine tree" - Again, from a goblin's PoV, humans and elves are tall and skinny.

Smoothskin, softskin, paleface, scrubbers (goblins never wash), squeaky cleans.

Your teeth are so clean I can see myself in the shine!

Ick Your breath smells like roses!

You wash so much even a flea wouldn't live in your beard!

Good ideas - "you humans stink of freshness"

Well, the humans are not necessarily Caucasian/Asian and thus might not have pale faces or "pig skin."

On the other hand, goblins appear to have glowing solid color eyes and sharp triangular teeth. They might find the human eye with its whites, colored ring and pupil to be hideous or disturbing (the same way we'd feel about a solid red or black eye). Human teeth might appear comically small and useless. Given our long legs and arms, we could also appear gangling to the squat goblins.

Food.

As in We be goblins, you be food!

Maggots also has a nice, gobliny ring to it....

Of course you could just confuse them by having the goblins sing their song from the hobbit:
