> In every war we have those wonderfully colorful slanderous terms for

"Gerry".  In modern times we've had others.  now I know none of these is
very cool in an enlightened social sense, but they are present in every
war.

Sounds too friendly to me, also 'Victor' means 'The Winner' in Latin,
not a
name you want to give your enemy :-)

How about 'Krocs' as a take both on their name and appearance ?
Should also work in various other human languages
