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."

Get the Clanker mug.Basically the hard R for robots. Alternatively clanka is soft A.
For example: "what's up my clanka." greeting a friend - "fuck you clanker." < This person does not like the transformers movies.

Get the clanker mug.
A psuedo-slur that is used against bots on & out of the internet.
Originated from Star Wars: The Clone Wars, where clones would call droids by that nickname.
Gained popularity after a massive explosion in YouTube porn & troll bots and after the rise in corporations trying to replace everyone with Artifical Unintelligence.
