Meatbags (I'm young, I swear)

Those clankers don't know what they're talking about, they can just shut the fuck up. Uppity clankers. Should've been left behind in Star Wars.

I know we are not monkeys and are closer related to apes.

I know monkey has been used as a racial slur.

It just sounds better than ape.

That said, I think if used holistically towards the entire species, and I do myself included, Monkey ticks all the right boxes because it immediately cuts down our species' unearned God complex about being somehow above just another animal mutation cohabitating on this world. We aren't, we're just the shittiest conceivable roommates.

We crow about our vocal chords. We crow about our opposable thumbs. But really, our species should just go down as monkeys/apes with a runaway ego mutation, nothing more. That's hitting us where it hurts, our inflated sense of specialness and self-importance, literally the only remarkable trait about us.

THE FURRIES

(Not coz we are all hairy, but bcs the first sight of an awakening sentient AIs would probably be of some random sys admin.)

I was gonna say why would a robot be a bigot, but then I remembered Elon musk is probably paying someone to work on exactly that

"Oxy" is great because it also doubles with the word association "moron" so we're subconsciously berated as well.

Proves my theory that if aliens landed we have a racial slur for them within minutes of them arriving. Are humans just prone to racism?

Flesh donut

Pretty sure that HK-47 called humans meatbags.

Reminds me of the ST:Next Gen episode where the colony finds the silicon based life and the crystal ends up calling humans "sacks of mostly water"

I could easily see a burst of audible data, like 2 seconds of dialup modem screeching, being used as a slur for us.

It wouldn't even need to contain any actual data just the fact that we can't possibly understand it would wind us up immensely.

Ephemerals (temporaries) - Stolen from the bobiverse (Dennis Taylor)

Proposition: Meatbags

• Gasbags: Even when doing nothing else, humans are constantly sucking in and pushing out air.
• Slow rotting meat: As opposed to steaks which rot in a day, humans take a few decades to rot, but to a robot which might live for millennia, it's about the same
• Wet Brains: Unlike a robot, our brains are wet, mushy things.
• Sleepers: How weird must it be to see a lifeform that spends 1/3 of its short existence unconscious.

But, I can also imagine words of admiration from robots for things humans can do that they can't, for example:

• self-fixers: When a robot part breaks it needs to be repaired. With a lot of injuries, humans just have to wait and the body repairs itself. That would seem pretty magical.
• puzzlers: Humans are capable of lateral thinking in a way robots aren't. Humans can use analogies to things they do understand, and can reason about things in the physical world.
• stinkers: Could be an insult because of humans pooping, pissing, sweating, etc. But it could also be a play on "instinct", somehow magically making a good guess about what to do in a new situation that's outside their "programming".
• leaders: Robots are good at responding to inputs, but they don't actually have any motivation themselves. If eventually there's a robot that's capable of thinking and wondering, it might wonder what it's like to do something, not because someone asked, but because you wanted to do it.

No need to imagine if you're a Linux user!

Asshole is now a slur💀

In Dennis Taylor’s “Bobiverse” series, natural born humans are called “ephemerals”
