90. Oooh goody I have another name for
my husband, a native born Chinese. Currently he is affectionately referred to as my 'personal coolie' but I see from your list I can now address him as "cunt-eyes" - he'll get a kick out of that!

Not quite a comprehensive list though. I grew up in England and us of the Jewish blood were indeed referred to as 4x2's but also, in cockney rhyming slang, as 'front wheel skids' abbreviated to 'skids'. Why? Because it rhymes with Yids short for Yiddish - the language of my grandparents (on one side anyway). Can't say it ever bothered me, in fact, thinking about it, it definately didn't.
