Spacers OR Colonists might call them "Bounders" (Earthbound)
or Earthworms (Worms, Wormies)

Spacers Might call Earthies OR Colonists anything mentioned above or
Grubs

Colonists might call Terrans Terriers
or Stayers
or Left-behinds (LB's, Lefties, etc.  Mind you, being left-handed, I
don't 
advocate this line of thinking)
etc.
