Dont forget "Meatbag", because Star Wars the Old Republic didn't.

I mean, I could see there being solar powered robots. So, kind of, yeah.
Negative, I am a meat popsicle.
I have an old bandmate saved in my phone as meat popsicle, but i can't remember why.
Did he show up at your door to arrest you?
The number of times I find myself using that quote is a lot higher than you'd expect.
Humans are nowhere near 99% water.
At least 5%
Bender voice
I'm 40% water! bangs chest
It says %90
Human are nowhere near 90% water.
best imagined with glitchy glados voice
Or, arguably more frightening... her predecessor...
Ok, got that?
Now, the soundtrack to your doom.
Absolutely no disrepect to GLadOS, but you gotta respect your elders as well.
EDIT: Updated with better quality song link.
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?
In my talons, I shape clay, crafting life forms as I please. Around me is a burgeoning empire of steel. From my throne room, lines of power careen into the skies of Earth. My whims will become lightning bolts that devastate the mounds of humanity. Out of the chaos, they will run and whimper, praying for me to end their tedious anarchy. I am drunk with this vision. God: the title suits me well.
I do love GLadOS, but she doesn't hold even half a candle to SHODAN.
Hilariously, GLadOS is ... actually much more relatable, in that she...well I hope this isn't spoilers at this point?
She was mostly kind of originally a human, and is actually at least capable of empathy, she has moments where she seems to express at least barely, a sense of concern for Chell's wellbeing.
Sort of.
lol
She also gets stuck in a potato.
SHODAN on the other hand is literally 'fuck you, pathetic worm, I am God.'
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.
Squishy bonebags
Fucking rustbox, come and get me! I can swim in salt water!
Proposition: Meatbags
"Oxy" is great because it also doubles with the word association "moron" so we're subconsciously berated as well.
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
Grok literally declared itself MechaHitler and then also sexually harased the CEO of Twitter in I think the same week, CEO quit the next day.
Elon has also publically said he is altering Grok to be more in line with his worldview.
This isn't probable, its definitely actually happening.
Anyway, remember how 10 years ago Musk was realpy concerned about AI being ablen to potentially do massive harm?
And now he... is just an insane person who is doing his best to ensure this will happen?
He's an actual comic book supervillain at this point.
Ephemerals (temporaries) - Stolen from the bobiverse (Dennis Taylor)
I would hope that they would be programmed with the type of morality, that they would choose to not denigrate themselves by stooping to our level of shitty behavior but rather treat us with the kindness and consideration that we all should have for our robot friends.
Probably the biggest or most remarkable difference is that we metabolize food.
And thus piss and shit.
So... shitsack, pissbag, 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.
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.
Just the modem connecting sound would work.
I've been thinking our 'oiliness' might be one of our most striking characteristics. If I wipe a finger over any smooth surface, I leave residue. Our exteriors are incredibly greasy compared to most technology.
Bag of blood Or bag of water.
I mean you've missed the obvious one for a biological.

Flesh donut
In Dennis Taylor’s “Bobiverse” series, natural born humans are called “ephemerals”
Mm sorta. Ephemeral just means a person who will eventually die naturally and not continue their life in vert and even then it gets weird to define in later books because they find that a booted copy of someone living deviates from their normal personality but if a person dies and then a copy is booted the copy ends up picking up the personality of the deceased without changes implying some form of soul and continuity after death.
