Look, Gen Z has some stinkers (“that’s fire,” sucks, and that’s coming from the generation that gave you, “hella,”), but their use of Chud is spectacular. A perfect encapsulation of every grubby, right-wing freak from incels to groypers. A near perfect onomatopoeia.
chud has been around a long time
Yeah, but that doesn’t mean it was used regularly as slang, or that it carried the same connotations. “Lowkey,” has been around for ages, but it wasn’t slang until the late 90s, and it isn’t even used the same way. (“Keep it lowkey,” vs., “that was lowkey brilliant.”)
I feel like it was though. Chode was maybe more common, but chud was used too. The movie followed the name afterall, not the other way around.
Your example for lowkey is using it as an adverb as opposed to an adjective. A chud has always been a noun.
chud’s always been a descriptor for racist dickbags
I’m sorry, but it really wasn’t:
The term originates from the 1984 movie C.H.U.D. In the film, the acronym refers to a group of humanoid, flesh-eating monsters that were once humans, but mutated due to radioactive waste. While the word may have started pejorative use in 2003 to describe any repulsive person, its usage shifted as it became popular in the 2020s on sites such as Twitter and Reddit, after the podcast Chapo Trap House frequently used it to describe those who are ignorant or far-right.

It doesn’t however, offset the sin that is “foid,” calling women “female humanoids” in casual speach is dehumanizing as fuck.
But only chuds do that. We’re not listing 90s slurs up there either.
Yeah, the casual way, “f*g,” was used, even into the early 2000s, is pretty shocking in hindsight.
“Chud” went from “terminally online right-wing freak” to “fatass”/“overeater”.
Oh, I haven’t heard it used that was. I still see it used pretty much exclusively to mean, “right-wing dumb-ass,” but sometimes more broadly as, “online dumb-ass.”
Personally I’ve only just started seeing it used that way on telegram within the last month, seems to be a recent thing.
I mean, if it’s Telegram, then it’s probably a bunch of chuds trying to shift the meaning of, “chud,” because they’re tired of being called chuds.
Honestly my vibe as well
so it went from cool words to mostly stupid words and hate speech?
plus isnt have of the slang in 2026 part mostly used on 4chan or by most 4chan usersChud is super old, the movie C.H.U.D. (Carnivorous Humanoid Underground Dwellers) came out in 1984 and has been used ever since. It’s funny that it’s most popular now, but it’s as old as the others
These days a lot of slang follows some kind of cookie cutter format. Redpill/blackpill, coomer/zoomer, X-oid, X-maxxing, etc. If it doesn’t meet some threshold of social media viability then it’s not getting adopted.
I’m not sorry for slangmaxxing
Okay Boomer
We found ourselves an intellectual Zoomer using big words like “Boomer”.

We need to counter them with good, non-cringe slangs!
Goyim
Isn’t that just Yiddish for “boy” or something? I haven’t seen or heard that one anywhere other than from Jewish people who sprinkle Yiddish into their English.
It’s the same vein as Gen X / Millennials using “retard”, or Gen Z using “Autistic” as insulting language. It’s taking something that is a scientific diagnosis and using it as an insult to someone being stupid or dumb-witted.
Basically weaponized ignorance due to lack of education or proper upbringing. When you’re not smart enough as a person to come up with a clever insult, use something that is inherently insulting to an entire population.
Goy means a non-jewish nation or person. Goyim is plural.
“She is a Goy” (she’s not Jewish)
“They’re Goyim” (they’re all non Jewish)
It doesn’t necessarily have a negative meaning to it but it can in certain contexts just like your example of “boy”. You can refer to a boy that way, or it can be used to be racist and denigrate a black man.
So is it being used as slang outside the context of describing people as non-Jewish? I grew up in Skokie, IL, so I was familiar with the yiddish term, but I haven’t heard this new usage. Are non-jewish kids online using “goyim” to refer to outsiders of some other in-group?
It’s mostly used by Jews and Yiddish speakers afaik
thanks!
Step down, old guard
To where? The uneducated?
At least we aren’t graduating high school with a 5th grade reading level at best.
The toilet
Because at least I’m not graduating high school with a.butt full of poop.
Siiiick…
unwilling to look it up, i’m going to assume foid is a shortened form of freakazoid
Unfortunately, no. “Foid” is short for “Femoid”, which is what incels call women :/
You “:/” but I actually love it. It’s a super obvious and instantly readable red flag that someone is a completely useless waste of space who’s thoughts and opinions can be completely disregarded.
Foid is one of the best words incels have ever created.
Wasn’t femoid already an obvious red flag? I don’t think I’ve ever heard that word used in any other context
I mean, yeah, applies to either one.
If only
Oh no, kids today speak as differently to us as we did to prior generations, how cringe!
Let’s go, there’s a Gammelfleischparty at the club tonight.
@laurenceOfSuburbia Makes me think of the band Devo. I believe the name is short for “devolution”. Though I think they meant something else.
Gnarly!
Bodatious!
Tubular!
I like slang in 2077 the best.
Corpo, Gonk, and Klep have all wormed their way into my vocabulary!
Choom
Damn, that’s nova.
