Slang refers to terms that are commonly used in everyday language but not considered official words, including exclamations and non-traditional insults. Slang can be positive or negative, and some terms carry connotations of both, depending on the context in which they are used.

There are several types of slang in the world, some of which are specific to individual nations and groups. As with all languages, slang changes over the course of time.

Exclamations[]

  • Bull pig — An expletive meaning "nonsense".[2]
  • Bull shark — A slang term which means "nonsense".[3]
  • Eat dirt[4]

Insults[]

Insults throughout the world often take the form of derogatory names for members of the various nations or reference personal qualities that set the target apart. This is not universal, however, and some insults simply express annoyance at another person's actions.

  • Ash maker — A slur directed at Fire Nation citizens,[24][25][4] even those with mixed Fire Nation-Earth Kingdom heritage, such as Kori Morishita.[15] It was used by people of the Earth Kingdom, such as the Freedom Fighters when dealing with the troubles caused by the Harmony Restoration Movement, as well as by members of the Water Tribe, such as Gilak and later Thod of the Southern Water Tribe when referring to Fire Lord Zuko.[25]
  • Blockhead — An insult intended to imply stupidity - see also meat head. It was used by Toph to describe Bolin's inability to learn metalbending.[26]
  • Blowhard — A term used by Sokka to describe a boring professor.[27]

  • Dirt people — A traditional insult directed at people with Earth Kingdom heritage, especially earthbenders.[15][4] The variants dirt farmers, dirt eaters, dirt throwers, and dirt throwing dogs also existed.[4] The slur is partially inspired by a traditional technique of poor Earth Kingdom farmers to occasionally taste small amounts of their fields' earth to judge the soil's condition. Already used by the 3rd century BG,[12] "dirt people" had become a common insult used by Fire Nation natives during the Hundred Year War.[4][15] Members of the Southern Water Tribe also adopted the slur, as evidenced by Thod's disciples referring to Toph as "dirt girl" and Gilak referring to Earth King Kuei as "dirt king".[25]
  • Dunderhead — A mild insult used by Aang when referring to Toph's stubborn nature.[5] Synonymous with less rude insults such as "idiot" and "stupid-head". Toph herself used this term to refer to Master Yu and Xin Fu after she escaped their metal prison.[32]
  • Fancy fingers — A pejorative term for someone who is overly refined. When Toph claimed that Team Avatar does not have the manners to blend in with the upper class of Ba Sing Se, Katara fired back that Toph was not exactly "lady fancy fingers".[33]

  • Flying hog monkey - Though also an exclamation, the singular version can be used to indicate a lack of intelligence and/or a misunderstanding on another person's part. It was used by Kavik to describe Yangchen's mistaken assumption that he was referring to the Unanimity project when he asked about how their mutual friends were doing.[35]
  • Fresh off the boat — A term used to describe recent arrivals from foreign nations who had yet to assimilate into a nation's culture and behavior.[36]
  • Gasbag — A word used to refer to someone who talks too much. Zuko described his uncle, Iroh, and an Order of the White Lotus member as such when they were talking to one another and Zuko could not discern the meaning of their conversation.[37]
  • Go eat coals — An expression of discontent or aggravation to another party.[38]
  • Gumflapper — A similar term to "gasbag", this word was used by Toph when referring to Bolin after he would not stop talking.[26]
