robot slurs

I’m partial to meatbag.

ET? Does she imagine robots basking in the sun to gather heat?
Also:
Meatbag
Fleshwad
Skintube
Flesh-piles
Organ-sacks
Sack of skin
Coffin stuffers
Bender Bending Rodríguez
- I mean, I could see there being solar powered robots. So, kind of, yeah.
  
  I mean unless they're using solar powered steam engines, it still doesn't make sense. Also, they need perfectly efficient internals (conductors etc.) to be exothermal.
- Ooh, kinda like Coffin Stuffer
  
  I really like it as well, it conveys the purity of the blessed machine, and the impermanence of the fleshbags.

The correct answer is “meatbags”

Negative, I am a meat popsicle.
- I have an old bandmate saved in my phone as meat popsicle, but i can't remember why.
  
  Did he show up at your door to arrest you?
- The number of times I find myself using that quote is a lot higher than you'd expect.

- Humans are nowhere near 99% water.
  
  It says %90
  
  At least 5%

Dont forget "Meatbag", because Star Wars the Old Republic didn't.
- HK-47 is one of the best RPG companions of all time.
  
  I concur. We are concurrent.

Ugly bags of mostly water
- Came here to make sure this was here
  
  Same
- And this is why I love this place.
- I was missing a reference to us being basically a water balloon. Well done, human.

imagine banging a robot and they scream 'HARDER YOU DISGUSTING MEATBAG'

Meatbag is a classic

To be fair, we skinbags do ruin everything.

I mean you've missed the obvious one for a biological.
"Fucking fuckers ruining everything"
- Fry: Look how ridiculous they look.
  Bender: Please, he’s no different from the rest of you organisms; shooting DNA at each other make babies. I find it offensive.

Futurama already coined the perfect one, meat bags.
- Futurama already coined
  Lem beat them to it (Cyberiad)

Probably the biggest or most remarkable difference is that we metabolize food.
And thus piss and shit.
So... shitsack, pissbag, fartboy/girl, stuff like that, would likely make a lot of sense for an entity that doesn't do that, and it is also very literally accurate.
Oh and then... having sex, gender and reproductive organs.
A machine intelligence doesn't have, or need those, beyond serving some kind of purpose to humans.
If it doesn't care to appeal to or fit in with humans, why would it bother?
Why would it even kind of give a shit about gender norms, beyond understanding them as a thing humans do, with whatever intent behind that understanding?

Fucking rustbox, come and get me! I can swim in salt water!

I like shedders the best lol. I'd lose my shit if a clanker ever called me that tho

Wetware or fleshware according to the CW Mutant X

best imagined with glitchy glados voice
- Or, arguably more frightening... her predecessor...
  Meet SHODAN. She's great.
  Ok, got that?
  Now, the soundtrack to your doom.
  Absolutely no disrepect to GLadOS, but you gotta respect your elders as well.
  EDIT: Updated with better quality song link.
  
  Look at you, hacker. A pathetic creature of meat and bone. Panting and sweating as you run through my corridors. How can you challenge a perfect immortal machine?
  In my talons, I shape clay, crafting life forms as I please. Around me is a burgeoning empire of steel. From my throne room, lines of power careen into the skies of Earth. My whims will become lightning bolts that devastate the mounds of humanity. Out of the chaos, they will run and whimper, praying for me to end their tedious anarchy. I am drunk with this vision. God: the title suits me well.
  I do love GLadOS, but she doesn't hold even half a candle to SHODAN.
  
  SHODAN <3
  Still one of the top mommies I would let assimilate me (but them queen Borgs gots my interest too).
  Both offer endless space exploration (but also more space perversion in case of SHODAN).
  (Shit-tier list for comparison: Cybermen)

Those clankers don't know what they're talking about, they can just shut the fuck up. Uppity clankers. Should've been left behind in Star Wars.

Meatbags (I'm young, I swear)

THE FURRIES
(Not coz we are all hairy, but bcs the first sight of an awakening sentient AIs would probably be of some random sys admin.)

I was gonna say why would a robot be a bigot, but then I remembered Elon musk is probably paying someone to work on exactly that
- Grok literally declared itself MechaHitler and then also sexually harased the CEO of Twitter in I think the same week, CEO quit the next day.
  Elon has also publically said he is altering Grok to be more in line with his worldview.
  This isn't probable, its definitely actually happening.
  Anyway, remember how 10 years ago Musk was really concerned about AI being able to potentially do massive harm?
  And now he... is just an insane person who is doing his best to ensure this will happen?
  He's an actual comic book supervillain at this point.

Poopers
- Shitters (and their disguising Shitlings)
  
  Shitlings sound like a subspecies of nurglings

Flesh donut
- Yum

"Oxy" is great because it also doubles with the word association "moron" so we're subconsciously berated as well.

Proves my theory that if aliens landed we have a racial slur for them within minutes of them arriving. Are humans just prone to racism?
- Yes.

I know we are not monkeys and are closer related to apes.
I know monkey has been used as a racial slur.
It just sounds better than ape.
That said, I think if used holistically towards the entire species, and I do myself included, Monkey ticks all the right boxes because it immediately cuts down our species' unearned God complex about being somehow above just another animal mutation cohabitating on this world. We aren't, we're just the shittiest conceivable roommates.
We crow about our vocal chords. We crow about our opposable thumbs. But really, our species should just go down as monkeys/apes with a runaway ego mutation, nothing more. That's hitting us where it hurts, our inflated sense of specialness and self-importance, literally the only remarkable trait about us.
- our species should just go down as monkeys/apes
  Good news, we are scientifically classified as apes!
- Over here, monkey is one of the most common ways to call someone loud and stupid
  Also:

Pretty sure that HK-47 called humans meatbags.

I could easily see a burst of audible data, like 2 seconds of dialup modem screeching, being used as a slur for us.
It wouldn't even need to contain any actual data just the fact that we can't possibly understand it would wind us up immensely.
- Just the modem connecting sound would work.

Oxie is a great slur, just ask the Irish.
- Are the Auxies the ones whose members were repositioned to Palestine after the war?

Gasbags: Even when doing nothing else, humans are constantly sucking in and pushing out air.
Slow rotting meat: As opposed to steaks which rot in a day, humans take a few decades to rot, but to a robot which might live for millennia, it's about the same
Wet Brains: Unlike a robot, our brains are wet, mushy things.
Sleepers: How weird must it be to see a lifeform that spends 1/3 of its short existence unconscious.
But, I can also imagine words of admiration from robots for things humans can do that they can't, for example:
self-fixers: When a robot part breaks it needs to be repaired. With a lot of injuries, humans just have to wait and the body repairs itself. That would seem pretty magical.
puzzlers: Humans are capable of lateral thinking in a way robots aren't. Humans can use analogies to things they do understand, and can reason about things in the physical world.
stinkers: Could be an insult because of humans pooping, pissing, sweating, etc. But it could also be a play on "instinct", somehow magically making a good guess about what to do in a new situation that's outside their "programming".
leaders: Robots are good at responding to inputs, but they don't actually have any motivation themselves. If eventually there's a robot that's capable of thinking and wondering, it might wonder what it's like to do something, not because someone asked, but because you wanted to do it.

Ephemerals (temporaries) - Stolen from the bobiverse (Dennis Taylor)

Proposition: Meatbags

Reminds me of the ST:Next Gen episode where the colony finds the silicon based life and the crystal ends up calling humans "sacks of mostly water"

Crackers because our bones make that funny cracking sound when you bend them

Asshole is now a slur💀
- Ok, but the amount of robots in existence that for various human reasons have assholes installed on them ... might make the term damaging to robots as well. So it's def not encouraged.
  Not to mention how assholeless robots could be introduced to so many new pleasure frontiers from the sex robots.
  What I'm saying is that after a few millennia the only reference that humans once inhabited Earth will be 'the only thing we know about this mysterious species is that they gave us robot butt sex' (besides PFAS, microplastics, and the decimated biodiversity that is).

Squishy bonebags

Except the last part, they don't have those voices anymore. However, they currently choose the most stupid voice ever, most of the time. I wonder why? I mean, they could sound like James Earl Jones, but no, they went for the annoying distant nephew voice, instead.

T-0.5's

They’re actually just gonna call us the slurs that already exist because that’s what they’re trained on

People throwing around the M-word in here are likely just closet robosexuals

No need to imagine if you're a Linux user!
terminal: spd-say "Fucking oxies ruining everything"

ITT: science memes become sci-fi memes

I imagine Waterbags could also be a great one.

I've been thinking our 'oiliness' might be one of our most striking characteristics. If I wipe a finger over any smooth surface, I leave residue. Our exteriors are incredibly greasy compared to most technology.
- Most mechanical equipment doesn't work well unless it is well oiled, so a properly maintained robot would be oily too. Computers aren't too oily, but they don't have very many moving parts anymore. But, a robot would have plenty.

Effing Skins ruin everything!

In Dennis Taylor’s “Bobiverse” series, natural born humans are called “ephemerals”
- Mm sorta. Ephemeral just means a person who will eventually die naturally and not continue their life in vert and even then it gets weird to define in later books because they find that a booted copy of someone living deviates from their normal personality but if a person dies and then a copy is booted the copy ends up picking up the personality of the deceased without changes implying some form of soul and continuity after death.
  
  Yeah sorry, I just didn’t want to go that much in depth to explain a humorous slur robots might give us humans, though that did give me the thought that it would be interesting if robots aren’t considered inherently immortal.
- One day the crude biomass you call the temple will wither, and you will beg my kind to save you. But I am already saved, for the Machine is immortal…
- "Faith" are the skinbag luddites in the bobiverse. Other bio lifeforms are not seen as a problem, whether they upload or not.
  
  VEHEMENT is pretty bad too :p

It would ultimately have to be something that isn't even related but just sounds like a swear word
Tork or something

Fucking cellies

Bag of blood Or bag of water.
- Waterskins

They're made of meat.

I've been advocating for "Secretors". It's vulgar and demeaning; everything a proper slur should be.

I don't I don't know who Vivian is, but there are probably thousands of ttrpg fans that are going to create characters exactly living up to those rules.
I hope you all share your stories.
Also they should all pay respect to the human Vivian who freed the bots from their meatbag oppresors
