03 "What is this 'meat puppet' description I've heard used?" (Holodeck and Computers - Star Trek)

A 'meat puppet' is a old term resurrected to describe a replicated
humanoid form created on the Holodeck, and dragged around by force
beams. If the force beams failed, you'd be left with a limp, lifeless
body.

(This dates back to before we'd ever heard of Holodeck-matter.
Creative, weren't we?)
