A clanker is a derogatory term for a robot, android, or other artificial intelligence. The term originated from Star Wars, but has recently expanded to a general term because of the rise of AI. Typically paired with another term like "wireback" or "oil guzzler". Not to be confused with clanka, which is the non-derogatory version of the word.

Me: "BLOOD IS THICKER THAN OIL!"
