Clanker

"Clanker" is a derogatory term used for robots or automated programs, particularly those driven by artificial intelligence (AI), and sometimes human-written code. The term rose to popularity on platforms like TikTok and Instagram, typically including images of characters with robotic characteristics (such as Cyborg from the DC universe, or Bot from the kid's show Team Umizoomi) with the text, "Would you call them a clanker?". The term seems to have been derived from "clank", which is an onomatopoeia for the sound of metal hitting something, and the "-er" suffix, meaning one who is/does. Thus, "clanker" essentially means "one who clanks".
