Why is that template still there?

Here is another example of it, from the 2001 movie Donnie Darko (set in 1988):

It's amazing, you know?
The man thinks
he's telling the truth...
...and everything he says
is just a fucking lie!
Everything he says!
Everyone thinks he's so rad.
He's such a fucking chud.
Everything he does...
Are you okay?
Yeah.

Doesn't sound natural to me, especially the supposed adjective. DTLHS (talk) 18:56, 15 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

I think the noun sense is close to cited, even though some of the cites may be debatable, especially the ones about the Simpsons which could be about a C.H.U.D. parody. I'm also sceptical about the adjective, though I found it in a dictionary of slang (didn't use the same phrasing of course).
Some people on Usenet also mentioned that homeless people on the NYC subway are also called "chuds". ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 08:11, 16 November 2018 (UTC)Reply
Other findings for "chud" in different senses: alternative form of cud (etym 1), "sewage" (prob. etym 2). ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 09:09, 16 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

RFV-resolved. The noun sense as an unappealing person passes, all other senses fail. Kiwima (talk) 01:38, 13 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

How can I revert to a particular revision ? It seems that as IP user/non-autoconfirmed I don't have this ability or doesn't even show up. Is there such a thing as Twinkle for Wiktionary? I need to restore the content of the page as it existed several motnhs ago when I edited it initially.
