"Chud" as an insult is toothless, sterile, and infantile. You might as well just call them 'subhuman'.
<1. Toothless and sterileInsults are supposed to be scathing and derived from some aspect of reality that can emphasize a facet of the recipient's state of being, which can be used to belittle them. Examples:
>Whale/Cow/PigBy themselves, these are innocuous words that describe certain animals within our world. When applied to an obese person, they juxtapose said person alongside said animals in an attempt to emphasize the obese person's obesity, which the insulting party considers to be something worthy of being shamed over.

The only way a word can be effective as an insult is if the recipient is made aware of the word's etymology and understands its usage; Outside of terminally online types who are more likely to be steeped in pop culture, this word is very likely to be interpreted as vacuous and meaningless.
