If your robot or computer is giving you trouble (quote from Douglas Adam's Sirius Cybernetics Corporation song:
And when it breaks down
Or starts to annoy
Or grinds when it moves
And gives you no joy
Cos it's eaten your hat
Or had sex with your cat
Bled oil on your floor
Or ripped off your door ), just pick some of Dr. Smith's robot insults to describe the robot or computer to your satisfaction: http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Towers/3332/smith.html. Here are a few good ones:
Arrogant Automaton
Automated Oaf
Blundering Bag of Bolts
Computerized Clod
Cybernetic Simpleton
Digitised Dunce
Hulking Mass of Mechanical Ignorance
Mechanized Misguided Moron
Obsolete Piece of Scrap Metal
Sorry Specimen of Computerhood
Traitorous Tin-Plated Fugitive from a Junkyard
Traitorous Transistorized Toad
Worthless Electronic Scrapheap
Tyrannus Thesaurus
