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.
I’m partial to meatbag.
HK-47 approves.
I came here to say the exact same thing.
“But master! That would be a waste of my genius programming!”
This is the one.
Meat Puppets…oh wait…that’s been taken already.
This was my first thought too.
Statement: This is a good meme.
“Are you classified as human?”
“Negative. I am a meat popsicle.”
Meatsacks, or meatbags. Meatballs for the fat ones.
Dirty water
Unrefridgerated meat
Terrible coincidence
The correct answer is “meatbags”
Was looking for HK47 in the comments. Bravo.
For real, the answer is already obvious
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”.
ET? Does she imagine robots basking in the sun to gather heat?

Ugly bags of mostly water.
I mean, I could see there being solar powered robots. So, kind of, yeah.
I mean unless they’re using solar powered steam engines, it still doesn’t make sense. Also, they need perfectly efficient internals (conductors etc.) to be exothermal.
Ooh, kinda like Coffin Stuffer
I really like it as well, it conveys the purity of the blessed machine, and the impermanence of the fleshbags.
What about “typers”?
Futurama already coined the perfect one, meat bags.

Lem beat them to it (Cyberiad)
Negative, I am a meat popsicle.
The number of times I find myself using that quote is a lot higher than you’d expect.
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?
there’s flesh as in vtubers vs fleshtubers
Dont forget “Meatbag”, because Star Wars the Old Republic didn’t.
HK-47 is one of the best RPG companions of all time.
I concur. We are concurrent.
