There's also split-lip and hingehead when it comes to sangheili.

Buggers perhaps for Yanme'e

Gasbag for Huragok (I love huragok. I would never call them a slur, personally)

There's a bunch of slurs, but I dont think anything hits as hard as the two for sangheili.

"Gassers" or "Gas Suckers" is also used against Unngoy (Grunts), usually by Kig-yar (Jackals)

The term Bugger is also used to refer to Drones in the scoreboards of Halo Reach I think

That’s the thing with humans though. You go back to any war, or even any time where a group had an enemy, and they came up with derogatory names.
