Futurama already coined the perfect one, meat bags.

Lem beat them to it (Cyberiad)
Statement: This is a good meme.
Bug.
The original bug was a moth in computer-relays.
Humans are squishy like bug, and behave semi-unpredictably like bug. Therefore, bug.
Ironically, I think the original bug would fall under the category of a glitch because it would have been a hardware failure, rather than a software issue.

No, it wasn't, but it's a commonly repeated mistake.
Meatsacks, or meatbags. Meatballs for the fat ones.
Dirty water
Unrefridgerated meat
Terrible coincidence
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 see we've been practicing exotic new forms of racism. not sure why.
All oppressed groups have willing collaborators, and I've never understood why until now.
Critical racist theory. We are laying the foundation of a whole new branch of dysfunctional systemic oppression. Truly visionary research.
"Are you classified as human?"
"Negative. I am a meat popsicle."
Dennis E. Taylor coined "Ephemerals" which, if I recall correctly, isn't even immediately intended as an in-universe slur by the machines/replicants, they only realize after a while "Wait, that's kind of derogatory, maybe we shouldn't call them that".
Yes, this pretty much the entire premise of Murderbot.
What about “typers”?
No need to imagine if you're a Linux user!
terminal: spd-say "Fucking oxies ruining everything"
I like them.
Maybe send those robots to MAGA land.
L..l...l...l...look at you, hacker, a pathetic creature of meat and bone, panting and sweating as you run through my corridors. How can you challenge a perfect, immortal machine?
ok, clanker
They're made of meat.
I've been advocating for "Secretors". It's vulgar and demeaning; everything a proper slur should be.
"Dripper"
"Leaker"
"Poo makers"
there's flesh as in vtubers vs fleshtubers
Squishy: Organics are soft and squishy.
It would ultimately have to be something that isn't even related but just sounds like a swear word
Tork or something
fleshbag
Fleshsacks
Vivian needs to watch Futurama. Much better insults there.
This is what the world needs; a unified slur - to bring us together.
Ozymandius Was Right?
Shedders sounds pretty advanced. We are made of cells and practically have an aura of gunk around us.
We would drive up their maintenance costs.
I don't I don't know who Vivian is, but there are probably thousands of ttrpg fans that are going to create characters exactly living up to those rules.
I hope you all share your stories.
Also they should all pay respect to the human Vivian who freed the bots from their meatbag oppresors
I’m partial to meatbag.
Meat Puppets....oh wait...that's been taken already.
