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

          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 mid-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 bucket 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.

        It really depends on the board how toxic it is.

        People don’t realise how similar to reddit it is where there are dodgy subreddits like /r/thedonald or the incel-coded streamer ones that you just learn to avoid when using it.

        I haven’t checked if it was still up but one of the oldest posts on 4chan - it had been up for 10+ years - was on the papercraft and origami board following one person’s progress in building an extremely complicated origami clock that actually functioned as a clock.

        Websites are basic as shit to stand up now, especially when they dont do shit like 4chan.

        They probably tossed that fucker up on wix.com. I bet it dramatically improved their security.
