I think the actual meaning might be CANNIBALISTIC HUMANOID UNDERGROUND DWELLERS. There was a more scientific line in the movie, but I think that was made up just for the film because "CHUD" is supposed to be some kind of boogeyman story. An urban legend about homeless people in the abandoned sewers and subways of New York City that eat people.

In the movie, C.H.U.D. actually has two meanings:
1. Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dweller(s)
2. Contamination Hazard Urban Disposal

Its sad that I know that.

Right, that's what it was. The first one though I think is the meaning in real life.

In Spanish, I believe it means "Caníbales Humanoides Ululantes Demoníacos"... (Demonic and Screaming Cannibalistic Humanoids).... well, you see. Stupid translation.

They actually do refer to homeless squatters in the train stations as CHUDs in NYC.

contamination hazard underground disposal or something. 'cannibalistic humanoid underground dwellers' was what the guy made up to cover his own ass, remember is said C.H.U.D on the waste in the sewer?

reply

It does mean both....he wasn't trying to "cover his ass." It's been years since I had seeen the movie but I still remember the meaning as Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dweller(s). I had forgotten about the other meaning.

That's actually right, though it's been forever since I first saw this & that was either on a vhs or beta, I've been thinking about getting this since it came out on dvd.
