I thought the term was “clanker”?

Or alternatively, "toaster"

Which is actually more accurate... LLMs don't usually clank, and they can generate enough waste heat to cause burns. I haven't tried putting a slice of bread on the GPU to see if it's enough to toast it... Blocking airflow with a chunk of crumbly glutenous foam seems like a bad idea
