Current Events > Is calling someone a chud flaming?

(+) Yeah! (+)

The only people who think that are the chuds themselves.

Its obviously flaming because the user is using it as an insult.

so if I called you a chud you would be like "yes you are correct Wingsofgood I am a chud" ?

I would think my views have made it pretty clear that I'm not a chud,

Chud is slang for some spectrum of negative qualities. In what way could you call someone a chud and not have it be flaming?

Nah

what does views have to do with it? is there a meaning of chud that is different to you that means person has certain views?
and what if someone called you that anyways knowing you didn't have those views, is that not flaming?

(Moderator)

^ is that poster right wing or is this joke? or is the word just nonsense?

Chud or Chude (Old East Slavic: , Finnish: tuudi, Northern Sami: uhti) is a term historically applied in the early East Slavic annals to several Baltic Finnic peoples in the area of what is now Estonia, Karelia[1] and Northwestern Russia.[2] It has also been used to refer to other Finno-Ugric peoples.[3][4]
Arguably, the earliest attested written use of the word "Chuds" to describe Baltic Finnic peoples (presumably early Estonians) was c. 1100, in the earliest East Slavic chronicles.[5] According to the Primary Chronicle, the invading troops of Yaroslav I the Wise defeated "Chuds" in a battle in 1030 and then established the fort of "Yuryev" (in what is now Tartu, Estonia).
According to Old East Slavic chronicles, the Chuds were among the founders of the Rus' state.[5]

There are a number of hypotheses as to the origin of the term. Chud could be derived from the Slavic word tjudjo ('foreign' or 'strange'), which in turn is derived from the Gothic word meaning 'folk' (compare Teutonic). Another hypothesis is that the term was derived from a transformation of the Finno-Ugric name for the wood grouse. Yet another hypothesis contends that it is derived from the Sami word tshudde or ue, meaning an enemy or adversary (Finnish: vainolainen).[6][7] This, however, would have required prominent Sami presence in trading centers around Lake Ladoga.[7][8]

Chuds have traditionally been believed to belong to the group of Baltic-Finnic peoples, though there have been some debate as to which specific group. After the first encounter with the Chuds, Slavic people tended to call other Finnic-speaking peoples Chuds, and thus became a collective name for the Finno-Ugric neighbours in Russian cultural tradition. Many writers contend that the Chuds were Vepsians, Fasmer posits them in Karelia while Smirnov suggests the Setos are descendants of the Chuds.[6] In recent research on toponymy of the Luga and Volkhov river catchment areas Finnish fennougrist Pauli Rahkonen has come to the conclusion, that the language spoken in the area has been Finnic only in the vicinity of the southern coasts of Lake Ladoga and the Gulf of Finland, but more upstream of the two rivers, the language, as based on the evidence of hydronyms in the area, has represented other Finno-Ugric languages than Finnic.[9] However, the Zavoloshka Chuds in the White Sea catchment area seem to have spoken Finnic languages based on the evidence of substrate toponymy in northern Russia carried out recently by Finnish Finno-Ugrist Janne Saarikivi.[10]

Later, the word Chuds was more often used for more eastern Finnic peoples, Veps and Votes in particular, while some derivatives of chud like chukhna or chukhonets were applied to more western Finns and Estonians. Following the Russian conquests of Finland 17141809, and increasing contacts between Finns and Saint Petersburg, Finns perceived the word Chud to be disparaging and hinting at the serfdom that the Russians were believed to find fit for the Finns. However, as a disparaging word, it was rather chukhna that was applied also to Finns and Estonians as late as during the Winter War, 19391940, between the Soviet Union and Finland.[citation needed]
In present-day Russian vernacular, the word chukhna is often used to denote the Veps. The name Chuds (or Northern Chuds) has been used for Veps people also by some anthropologists.[citation needed]
In the mytho-poetical tradition of the Komi, the word chud can also designate Komi heroes and heathens; Old Believers; another people different from the Komi; or robbersthe latter two are the typical legends in Smi folklore. In fact, the legends about Chuds (uit) cover a large area in northern Europe from Scandinavia to the Urals, bounded by Lake Ladoga in the south, the northern and eastern districts of the Vologda province, and passing by the Kirov region, further into Komi-Permyak Okrug. It has from this area spread to Trans-Ural region through mediation of migrants from European North.[citation needed]
Chud has become a swear word in the Arkhangelsk region. As late as 1920, people of that region used legends of the Chuds to scare small naughty children.[6]

I didn't even know it was a real word. Thought it was a gamefaqs exclusive term.

Noun. chud (plural chuds) (US, slang) A gross, physically unappealing person.

Hmm... Does this count as concern trolling?

what if you call a known leftist a chud? what if someone called you that?

wait is this rooted in racism?

It's from the movie and means cannibalistic humanoid underground dwellers. You're basically calling someone a subhuman.

that doesn't make any sense. do you know what concern trolling is?

which movie?

Its a fair question to ask after you tried to tie its usage here to unrelated early medieval period language, and claim its racist.

Urban dictionary is what youre looking for.

people are giving different definitions so I look up the origin of the word

if you think that isn't the origin than give it

but that is also not what concern trolling is
