My dad used to get called "haole" all the time while in med-school. Basically the Hawai'ian equivalent to gaijin.

Then for about a month after he married my mom my uncle called him "exenos" (greek for foreigner). All in fun that time though
In Michigan, we had Yoopers and Trolls. Once in Cincy, I saw a person with a Michigan shirt for a town I didn't recognize, and I asked if he which he was. My manager nearly crapped himself and almost fired me for calling a customer a Troll. Apparently, Cincy doesn't have the mindset for that kind of thing...
