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
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."
Yes, this pretty much the entire premise of Murderbot.
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".
What about “typers”?
I like them.
Maybe send those robots to MAGA land.
ok, clanker
Squishy: Organics are soft and squishy.
there's flesh as in vtubers vs fleshtubers
Fleshsacks
Vivian needs to watch Futurama. Much better insults there.
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.
ET? Does she imagine robots basking in the sun to gather heat?

- Fleshwad

imagine banging a robot and they scream 'HARDER YOU DISGUSTING MEATBAG'
Meatbag is a classic
To be fair, we skinbags do ruin everything.
I mean you've missed the obvious one for a biological.
"Fucking fuckers ruining everything"

I like shedders the best lol. I'd lose my shit if a clanker ever called me that tho
Fucking rustbox, come and get me! I can swim in salt water!
Probably the biggest or most remarkable difference is that we metabolize food.
And thus piss and shit.
So... shitsack, pissbag, fartboy/girl, stuff like that, would likely make a lot of sense for an entity that doesn't do that, and it is also very literally accurate.
Oh and then... having sex, gender and reproductive organs.
A machine intelligence doesn't have, or need those, beyond serving some kind of purpose to humans.
If it doesn't care to appeal to or fit in with humans, why would it bother?
Why would it even kind of give a shit about gender norms, beyond understanding them as a thing humans do, with whatever intent behind that understanding?
Wetware or fleshware according to the CW Mutant X
