CHUD

What does CHUD mean/stand for?

[+kunarion]

I tried a search and got a lotta them.  That was frustrating.  Sooo many “CHUD” defined as “CHUD”.  Evidently it's an in-joke, and I'm not invited.  These caches identified as “CHUD” appear to be in drainage areas or culverts, so that's a clue. However, “CHUD” seems to be more about the people than the place.

 

I saw a couple of references that say “Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers” (from a movie), and I can't tell if that's the real term or another in-joke.  Anyway, my best guess it's a reference that a cache is underground (in a culvert, maybe), and that if you go hunt it, you're the "CHUD".

Similar to kunarion, I see it as caches in ditches, culverts, drainage pipes and such, and the CHUD reference was just to give a bit of spookiness to it.

 - That "look over your shoulder ,or you might escape holding your own intestines" kinda humor.   You have a few of them in your state.

Curious, where did you run into the term?

Wild guess, the OP saw the reference on a cache page like this one.

makes sense to me .

I finally tracked this down. kunarion was correct - I am guessing it is a reference to the movie, not unlike folks who do a Harry Potter or Star Wars based series.

Looks like the caches are all underground.

When our library reopens I'll see if I can rent this movie. Curiosity has won.
