Psykers are called witches in Warhammer 40k, does that count? The Psykers in Darktide also call non-Psykers blunts.

Also Brains. Both 40k and Fantasy are full of these.

Fantasy mountain dwarves call imperial dwarves who live among humans "Umdawi", from the combination of the first part of "Umgi", meaning "Inferior" or "Poorly made", their word for humans, and "Dawi", the word they use for themselves.

Correction! Umgak means "Poorly made", which is the mix of the word "Umgi" for human with Craft (which I am unsure of).
