As for the regular FUD, it seems enough of us carry it on our backs. No need to transport it any quicker is there?
That picture may be more about the quantity.As for the regular FUD, it seems enough of us carry it on our backs. No need to transport it any quicker is there?
But you know what it means on this forum.The term "fud" is used as Scottish slang for referring to someone as a foolish person.
No Bill, but it is something you might eat!
P.S. I'd love to hear your impression of a Scottish accent! 😀

I channel Ewan McGregor in those awful co-op ads where the strapline was 'good with food' but came out 'gud with fud'.
Everything else I know about north of the border I learned from Rab C Nesbitt 😀

Over the course of his twenty-odd years in film, Ewan McGregor has successfully masked his native Scottish brogue.
His accent is now what I would call "posh"! 😉
I can't find the Co-op ad to which you refer, but listen to him with "bools in his mooth" in this one:
(To have a bool in one's mouth: To speak with a supposedly affected, over-refined accent.)

I wonder if the character named Elmer in Bugs Bunny show has his origin in Scotland... 🤔The term "fud" is used as Scottish slang for referring to someone as a foolish person.

That doesn’t mean that it originally didn’t have one D. Haven’t you ever seen the episode(s) where he was wearing a kilt? “Your slip is showing!” was one of my favorite Bugs Bunny—isms of all time, right up behind the “fricaseeing rabbit” exchange with Daffy.
But seeing the foolish things Elmer does, I would believe the character having ties to Scottish slang, with a slight twist in spelling. 💡That would be Elmer J. Fudd, with two ds! 🙂
But you know what it means on this forum.
I know what its alternative meaning is in Scotland, but that would be censored on this forum! 🤐
