CLANKER

The original definition before being used as the N-word equivalent for robots and AI, CLANKER, was slang referring to someone who is sexually attracted to robots and AI like how 'clopping' is used for a person having sex with a horse, because that’s the sound it would make. CLANKER was invented for the same reason — as the sound it would make if you F’ed a robot.

"Jeff is such a clanker," Jerry says to Tome. "That’s rich coming from you," Tom replies. "I saw your history. I know you got an AI girlfriend," Tom continued.
