What does "Chud (Slang)" mean?

Chud (slang) is an insult meaning roughly loser, troll or jerk, usually aimed at men; in political arguments it means someone with far-right views. It comes from the 1984 horror film C.H.U.D., and the left-wing podcast Chapo Trap House popularized it as a political insult in 2017. In 2026 chud spread into everyday teen speech: a study of Google searches from January to August, reported by Euronews, ranked it the second most-searched Gen Alpha slang term, behind 6-7.
