fantastic insults

[zephre]

Oh, readers of LJ, I need some creative insults for shapeshifters to call people what are stuck in a single form their whole lives (e.g. humans).
And while we're at it, how about some that go the other way?

Don't be shy!

I am stuck on one from Douglas Adams: "Filthy rotten stinking samelings." ;)

I love yours!!!!! Especially "basically, he just swelled"

what about if the derision comes from shapeshifters' mindset that normal people could shift, but are too stubborn:

stone-for-bone

Or take simple everyday words, but have them become doubled in meaning (remember, "gay" used to mean happy!!!)

stubborn
small-minded
skin-bound
skin-prisoned

also- bland, ordinary.

And then that would create, also a cultural construct among the shapeshifters where they would favor brighter clothes, spicier food, a more exuberant style, or the ones who are really trying to put their identity as shapeshifters in the foreground (think shapeshifter-pride as an idea)

Static, ie: "what else can you expect from a static?" dripping with derision, of course.
