Could use some brainstorming help - need a derogatory term :)

Paul:
Could you give us a little more? Are they slimy, smelly, scaley, do they shed their skin, etc? Also, most racist terms or military slang for the enemy are single words.

Thanks.
 
How about peanut for peanut brain since dinosaurs were said to have brains the size of a walnut and since a 6' humanoid lizard would be much smaller than the big dinosaurs which would be (in theory) smaller than theirs thus peanut brain.
 
I just came up with a really good one. Since the study of reptiles is herpetology how about, herpes? It wouldn't necessarily register for the reptile people but to a human it would be pretty amusing equating them to a venereal disease and it would be pretty insulting once the lizard people learn what herpes is and that it's not just slang for herpetology or what herpetologists are called.
 
Slicks

Forkies

Coldies or Chillies (Cold blooded)

'Tiles

Laids

"Go get laid you 'tiles!!!"

Are they hatched from eggs? Something relating to breakfast or chickens........

Scrambles
Over easies
Chickenfeet
Featherbrains
Scalebacks
Hatchers
Underrocks
 
Reps (reptiles)
Shedders (they shed their skin?)
Lacers (scientific name of lizards is Lacertilia)

That is all I can think of at the moment. More names will probably come to mind after I post this. :facepalm
 
I like herpes!

skinners - especially if the shed their skin, and/or skin their prey.

egg beaters (insinuating they abuse their young)

frills (if they have prominent skin fans like a frilled lizard)

***** lizard (an actual lizard, as well as what one is inclined to say when you see one!)
'zeus! (shortened form)

gaits (if they look like gators - and definitely have the first captive be named Bill!
