Copied from the article List of words meaning outsider, foreigner or "not one of us", version dated 12:32, 21 October 2006, being considered for WP:AfD This is a list of words meaning outsider, foreigner or "not one of us", used in English language either natively or as a borrowing to refer to national specifics. Though often such words are not used with an intent of disrespect nor contempt, their nature of non-inclusion sometimes makes them offensive terms.
A number of words, such as newbie, epigone, dilettante that have a different meaning of persons with inferior expertise may also be used in the sense of an outsider with respect to a class of "experts".
Similarly, the terms such as plebs, may be used to denote outsiders with respect to "higher social classes."
