@laurenceOfSuburbia Makes me think of the band Devo. I believe the name is short for “devolution”. Though I think they meant something else.
unwilling to look it up, i’m going to assume foid is a shortened form of freakazoid
If only
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.
Education time.
Dashiell Hammett was a WW1 veteran who fought the Army for the right to join up to fight Hitler. After the war he was sent to jail for refusing to name names when the government wanted to know who was in the Communist Party.
After working as a real life detective, Hammett turned to writing crime fiction. In one of his stories he used authentic crook slang. ‘The rag lay’ was stealing laundry off of clothes lines. It was the kind of thing only the lowest miscreants would do. His editor censored ‘the rag lay’ because it sounded dirty to him. Hammett didn’t raise a fuss, but in his next story he had his hero call a cheap crook a ‘gunsel’ and a ‘punk.’
‘Gunsel’ and ‘punk’ were both slang for men who offered sex for protection in prison.
“Gunzel” is also Australian/New Zealand slang for trainspotter/railway enthusiast. Not sure if it’s related.
The Maltese Falcon. From a novel by Hammett.
Chud is much older.
Yeah, chud has been around since the movie in 1984.
There was even an 80s documentary about it!
I think an even older generation would ut their slang in the strong soyjack section and would put yours in the stupid soyjack section.
Applesauce! This post isn’t the bee’s knees! I’m going to a blind pig to chug some giggle water to forget it!
I still say “groovy”, “hella”, and “dank”.
“groovy” was already only used ironically back in the day, having much the same connotations as referring to Nirvana as a “beat combo”
I am the only person I know who uses groovy unironically other than my aunt.
no, there’s also me.
As someone who grew up in the 60s and 70s, i can assure you that groovy was not used ironically back in the day. Ya dig?
Funk and funky are still in my vocabulary.
The only time I still mention Groovy is when I directly afterwards mention that I like Kotlin better.

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.
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 their either.
Yeah, the casual way, “f*g,” was used, even into the early 2000s, is pretty shocking in hindsight.
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. Source
“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
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.
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 4chanHarsh realm
I’m not really fond of signaling disrespect like this. I like to encourage respect.
I’m not sorry for slangmaxxing
goonin and boolin, jizzmaxxing in 2026
jizzmaxxing is back?! you heard it here chat, time to sling mad ropes. LFG fam
Understand goyim from the replies (no surprise), had to look up foid.
Dumb fucking basement dwelling incel-bait.
Our fucking society, lol.
This post has a remarkably low amount of diggity.
Diggity is in short supply these days
Wait, wait, I’m still confused. Is diggity a good thing or not? Should I be aiming for an overwelming surplus of it, and if I should, is it really surplus, or should I be trying to expunge it from my life entirely?
You only want in the correct amount. Not enough diggity is almost as bad as too much diggity. So by diggity extension, an overwhelming amount of diggity is indeed too much diggity and thus not diggity at all.
Diggity diggity.
Hard disagree. Case-in-point: I like the way you work it, some diggity…?
It just doesn’t work. You really don’t want any diggity.
Idk. In that case some diggity isn’t enough. Hot diggity on the other hand 🤌
Don’t forget the diggity serving temperature. Diggity must be hot.
I am clearly no diggity-ologist as I had not even considered the temperature of the diggity. I shall continue my studies in the hope that I too can become wise in the ways of Diggity.
Thank you for your wise words regarding the correct amount of diggity. I shall endeavour to always have the correct amount of diggity in future.
I like slang in 2077 the best.
Damn, that’s nova.
Corpo, Gonk, and Klep have all wormed their way into my vocabulary!
