A pejorative term used against AI bots and other software used because HR is too lazy to hire competent employees
I swear to god, if I have a fucking clanker answer the phone and tell me my 1-year warranty is expired when I bought that vacuum a month ago, I'm going to lose it.

Get the Clankermug. Clanker
slang, derogatory (in-game)
A clanker is a mildly insulting nickname used by World of Warcraft players to describe mechagnomes — the part-robot, part-gnome race introduced in patch 8.3. The term clanker (or clanka, plural: clankas) comes from the metallic clanking noise they make while walking, thanks to their mechanical limbs and gadgets.
Often used in PvP trash talk or casual RP, calling someone a clanker implies they’re more tin than gnome — squeaky, awkward, and probably about to overheat. Not truly offensive, but mechagnome mains may still act like you've voided their warranty.

"Ugh, our healer's a clanka. Hope he doesn’t lag mid-fight when his WiFi syncs with his bolts."
"Did you hear that creaking noise? Yeah, another clanker trying to sneak past the Horde camp."
"No daughter of mine will ever marry a CLANKER!"

Get the Clankermug. This is the term used for a older and rusty droid. The term clanker is commonly used amongst new age droids as a insult to older droids. "Clankers" often contain rusty components that are loud and can make "clanking" or "clunking sounds".

Get the Clankermug. A new term used by people who aren't happy about the growing presence of robots and artificial intelligence in daily life has emerged.
"Clankers," a term from Star Wars lore used by humans and clones to derogatively refer to robots, the term first appeared in the Star Wars franchise. During the Clone Wars, a conflict between the republic and separatists, the latter used an army of robots called droids. So the word "clanker" became a common derogatory term used by protagonists toward their robotic enemies. While its use began ironically, the growing adoption of automation in almost every facet of life has some people using the term more seriously.
