Xenos

A Greek word which means "stranger" or "alien." "Xenophobia," or "fear of the strange," comes from this root. The Paranormal board is /x/, too.

In Warhammer 40,000

The Imperium of Man uses "xenos" as a catch-all term for any non-human life forms. For example, the Ordo Xenos is the branch of the Inquisition which deals with aliens, and they have whole litanies about what happens to Xenos they get their hands on, like "Mark of the Xenos" (also the name of a Rogue Trader sourcebook).

Please note that "Xenos" is the plural AND singular spelling of the noun and adjective. "xeno-" is a prefix used to denote the xenos origin of something, and Xeno is a character from Tau Quest whose name derives from "xeno-abomination".

If a scenario like that of Alien Nation or Men in Black happened in which extraterrestrials come to earth in search of citizenship unfolded, the word Xenos would quickly become listed as Hate Speech due to the actions of /tg/.
