Looking for a VC idiom term for the US.....preferably something derogatory. Any suggestions?

"Imperialist pigs/dogs" was quite common, or just "imperialists". Translations from books written by Vietnamese don't always make sense, but I've also read Marines we called "tin meats" because of their c-rations and also "rock apes" (can't recall the actual Viet word). I also know that one unit of Cambodian communists called all Americans "spics" or "pollo" (pronounced poyo) whether they were hispanic or not as they felt the harshness of the word itself, which is a sound/pronunciation their language does not normally have, just sounded derogatory and like bodily fluids.

I am sure there are others, but these are the ones I can recall for sure.

Looking for a term in Vietnamese really - an equivalent to 'go*ks' or similar. I need a term to deploy against to Pat when she's winning....or losing for that matter.
