Clanker

A derogatory, highly offensive slur for a robot. Other variations include “clanka” (used by robots to refer to each other), “clankaz” (plural form of “clanka”), and “clankie”.
If you don’t have at least 50% robot heritage, do not use the term “clanker,” regardless of the variation. It is considered extremely speciesist.
