English chud From the science fiction horror movie C.H.U.D. (1984), standing for “cannibalistic humanoid underground dwellers”. The slang derivative of this term was coined by the hosts of the Chapo Trap House podcast and popularized on its subreddit, r/chapotraphouse, as well as on the Bernie Sanders campaign movement's Twitter community. The term reached the youth mainstream via incel jargon, its use as a self-description coming from flame wars against right-wing users of the /pol/ board on 4chan (personified by the Chudjak/"le /pol/ face" meme).
