Stereotypical Humans

[TheDS]

Humans get a lot of flak for stereotyping aliens. Aslan warrior, Vargr thief, Hiver manipulator, lazy Droyne, and so on.

So how would a non-human quickly characterize us? What are our most important, common features?

This can be a one-two word slang (like above), or a one-liner, or a one paragraph stereotype description.

Begin contest!

(The prize will be..... knowing you're the (wo)man!)

Conceited and self-centered, both as individuals and as a race.

 

[mike wightman]

Objectionable, obtuse, obstinate, obsequious, obdurate, obliging, oblique, obscene, obnoxious, oblivious, obsessive...
choose any letter, open the dictionary, there you will find...

I think you mean...

GNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAK!!!! (screamed over an orbital planet-sterilising AM-bomb barrage...)

Though technically, we might be redeemable in their eyes, since we're omnivores that can be converted to vegetarianism.

 

[mike wightman]

While they are herbivores that can be converted into lunch, dinner, supper, a range of meaty snacks, shoes, and handy carrying cases

Remember that old Solomani holiday message - a K'kree is not just for Christmas...


with careful carving you can still be eating it by the New Year

Oh yes, stereotypical human - how about foolish.

As in "ha, now you die foolish human - but first let me explain the plot, how to defeat it, and give you just enough time to make some remarkable escape"

 

[jappel]

Resilient. Like our terrestrial cousins, the cockroach.

[Madarin Dude]

Just because of the nature of the imperium tiresome beaurucratic windbags. I got your form right here.

 

[Spinward Scout]

Now that made my New Year, Dude.

Of course one must remember that it is very difficult to fight a species who's cultural philosophy can be summed up by the phrase 'Oh yeah?'

 

[KrasnyKot]

Nosy ones, or maybe The Intruders.

What?! No Vargr have shown up to offer "Pinky" to this list?

And of course the ever popular "Meat Sack", generally used by sci-fi aliens with exoskeletons or robots. I know it was used in Futurama but I think there's an earlier use, can't recall the story or author though.
