Evicted from Earth

[The Borg Queen]

But having the aliens calling themselves Humans after they've invaded and taken over, and us Native Humans doesn't quite have the same ring to it.

 

[Jenee]

What if the aliens referred to themselves as "Earthlings" and us as "Native Earthlings"?

That would just be silly. Whoever heard of such a thing.

I've always preferred the word "Terrans" myself.

I've always preferred 'Terrans', also.

I thought we were Humans? Or is that too politically incorrect now?

Vulcans are from Vulcon.

Bajorans are from Bajor.

Andorians are from Andoria.

English are from England.

Mexicans are from Mexico.

Humans are from ... Humana?

Naw... I still prefer Terrans.

^ Ahh but the Klingons are from Qo'noS.

You're onto something there though - if we rename the planet Huma, maybe the aliens will get confused and just carry on?

It's good to save the world. *relaxes*

Earthicans?

I'll second that!

Thirded! (or is it fourthed, fifted or sixted by now? -Sevened?)

But I always figured the people living on Earth being the "Earthlings" while the people that evolved on Earth are the "Terrans". Eventually there will be "Martians" and "Earthlings" but we'll all be "Terrans"…

The people that evolved on Earth are humans. Or homo sapiens, so wherever we settle we'll still be humans.

True enough.

Unless we decide to become something entirely different; Giant space dwelling squid or Borg or something.

 

[Kommander]

I have a terrific idea!

Casinos?

 

[Mallory]

Probably space trailer parks for people evicted from their planet.

Or maybe they'll expect more jokes.
