Futurama already coined the perfect one, meat bags.

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 know we are not monkeys and are closer related to apes.
I know monkey has been used as a racial slur.
It just sounds better than ape.
That said, I think if used holistically towards the entire species, and I do myself included, Monkey ticks all the right boxes because it immediately cuts down our species’ unearned God complex about being somehow above just another animal mutation cohabitating on this world. We aren’t, we’re just the shittiest conceivable roommates.
We crow about our vocal chords. We crow about our opposable thumbs. But really, our species should just go down as monkeys/apes with a runaway ego mutation, nothing more. That’s hitting us where it hurts, our inflated sense of specialness and self-importance, literally the only remarkable trait about us.
our species should just go down as monkeys/apes
Good news, we are scientifically classified as apes!
I didn’t expect king Koopa here
Over here, monkey is one of the most common ways to call someone loud and stupid
Also:
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.
Pretty sure that HK-47 called humans meatbags.

“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!
