    Good pain.
    Bad sex.
    Ugly American.
    Native American. (even the Amerinds are immigrants)

    and there's a whole lot of funny ones you can make about varied countries, but I won't, as they might be considered political.

    Oh, I guess I could make some for universally hated groups...

    Fast food (which is typically neither)
    Peacekeeper missile
    Civil service
    Justifiable homicide
    Hurry up and wait (very annoying military-ism)
    Lightweight

    Heh. I'd dispute number 13. The most common response when I go on site is for the contact to crane their neck upwards and say something like, "You're the computer guy?" (Granted, I look more like a Hell's Angel than a jock. Either way, I don't look like the stereotypical geek.)
