Noun
[edit]
fud (countable and uncountable, plural fuds)
- Alternative form of fuddy-duddy
1958, Jack Kerouac, The Dharma Bums:
The other poets were either hornrimmed intellectual hepcats with wild black hair like Alvah Goldbook, or delicate pale handsome poets like Ike O'Shay (in a suit), or out-of-this-world genteel-looking Renaissance Italians like Francis DaPavia (who looks like a young priest), or bow-tied wild-haired old anarchist fuds like Rheinhold Cacoethes, or big fat bespectacled quiet booboos like Warren Coughlin.
2006, P. Aarne Vesilind, The Right Thing to Do: An Ethics Guide for Engineering Students, →ISBN:
The builders of steam engines and other machines also wanted to be known as professional engineers, but the old fuds in ASCE had a very narrow definition of engineering - if you did not build structures, then you could not be an engineer.
2007, Christopher Brookmyre, Attack of the Unsinkable Rubber Ducks, →ISBN, page 104:
Or as some baffled wannabe-trendy Oxbridge fud in the Telegraph put it, "acting like Mucous: it is big and it is clever."
