For me it's saying, "we can't joke about anything anymore". Sirens go off immediately ๐Ÿšจ

Does "chud" mean something different than it used to?

[โ€“] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

A unattractive person whose defining characteristic of their personality is their egotism. Most often used to describe typically one-dimensional preps, chauches, or the like. A particularly mean insult; it should not be taken nor thrown around lightly.

This was posted to urban dictionary 21 years ago, so depends how far back I guess?

I've only ever heard it used as an insult, like chump.

Cannibalistic Humanoid Underdwelling Demon

See movie : C.H.U.D. or Donnie Darko

This one from 2003 (still copied from UD) is what I'm more familiar with, still an insult, but one more about appearance and demeanor than behavior, and a very different aesthetic than above. Synonymous with "troglodyte".
