What is a chud? I’m guessing it’s a play on the term Chad?

If the words are related, the relationship is the other way around; the earliest urban dictionary definition is from 2003

the movie CHUD came out in 1984

Yeah, but I don’t know if the word was common slang between then and the urban dictionary entry, whereas I definitely saw it in the late aughts.

true, but I can attest that people were saying it in the 90s. It wasn’t as popular, but chud was an insult when I was in high school, in the 90s.

I think a tumblr post popularized it… Basically it went something like “I don’t like insulting people by saying they live in a basement, so I use CHUD (Cannablistic Humanoid Underground Dweller, after the horror movie of the same name) instead”

there’s cinema chuds and everyone else chuds. cinematic chuds are nyc sewer dwelling C.H.U.D.s and appear on the surface to kidnap and feed. everyone else - chuds has always meant racist fuckwits.
it’s the basket that holds your racist hicks, your KKK organized racist fucktype, capitalist-fetish racists, everything from someone who frequently worries about about miscegenation to the mormons who thought black people didn’t get into heaven until the 70s when they decided god sent word that, well, maybe some. it’s a big, handy bucket.
