I never really understood that insult, especially because it's supposedly
used by orks -- the race that gets four or six kids at once... Perhaps it
refers to humans being the largest race (numbers-wise), and thus could be
seen as having "out-bred" the others? (Which, BTW, is very illogical
reasoning.)
