Just because there are em-dashes in my writing doesn't mean I'm a clanker you clanka'! Man this tech bro is such a clanker...

By Kit Rat

A derogatory, highly offensive slur for a robot. Other variations include “clanka” (used by robots to refer to each other), “clankaz” (plural form of “clanka”), and “clankie”.

If you don’t have at least 50% robot heritage, do not use the term “clanker,” regardless of the variation. It is considered extremely speciesist. “Clanker” is an extremely offensive slur.

A way for people to get around filters which block the n-word, claiming that "it's just for robots".

"Clanker" is a derogatory term used for robots or automated programs, particularly those driven by artificial intelligence (AI), and sometimes human-written code. The term rose to popularity on platforms like TikTok and Instagram, typically including images of characters with robotic characteristics (such as Cyborg from the DC universe, or Bot from the kid's show Team Umizoomi) with the text, "Would you call them a clanker?". The term seems to have been derived from "clank", which is an onomatopoeia for the sound of metal hitting something, and the "-er" suffix, meaning one who is/does. Thus, "clanker" essentially means "one who clanks".

Person 1: "I just subscribed to ChatGPT+ and bought a Roomba." Person 2: "Ew, I hate those clankers."
