    Generally, there are two types of CHUDs:

    1. People who were popular in high school and bullied people, and being a CHUD is how they can relive their glory days as the cool kids forever

    2. People who were bullied by group one, and decided to get their revenge on the world by becoming bullies themselves.

      So well put here. This is a very good explanation. If you don’t mind me asking, is a CHUD an abbreviation of something or is it just a word assigned/given, like Karen or Jock

        CHUD is an acronym for cannibalistic humanoid undergroud dwellers. It’s a reference to movie, but for whatever reason CHUD became the slang term for reactionaries. You’ll every now and then see “hog” used the same way.
