What do you guys prefer to call Xenos?

What do you guys prefer to call Xenos on first contact? I usually call them bugs or lizards or even bug-lizards sometimes, but I hear people call them dinos too.

;Sir, there's an angry skinned bear running around LZ1. Was there some sort of chemical attack here?

;Oh god, that angry truck thing just ran down Rhodes!

;Sir, I've been captured. Some sort of headcrab thing got me.

;Some sort of snake just tore through Rhodes' chest. I guess that's gonna happen to me too.

;There's one with swords for arms guarding me. I'm gonna shoot myself.

;It didn't work out. They dragged me deeper into the hive. It's a good thing I won't live to have nightmares about this because I think their leader is here.

You know, there's nothing wrong calling the xenos by their name, after all, the castes were named by marines.

I call them bugs because that's how they call them in the games

If we're talking in general, usually lizards, sometimes dragons. I've come to like a couple in specific though.

Call them "Contact!" Followed by dying in 2 minutes before I can reply back to command.

I like to go with "local wildlife" or aliens most of the time though.

Surprised nobody has said dildo heads yet.

I personally just say lizards or even hostile's as a more general term.
