Fallacious Urban Dictionary.


Really? An innocuous word like "Fud" means that? Plus, Fuddy Duddy Fudge is the name of a nice, tasty confectionery shop:http://www.fuddyduddyfudge.com/About_Our_Fudge.html Makes me salivate just like one of Pavlov's dogs.

It's the fifth link for me. First link is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear,_uncertainty_and_doubt,  followed by en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fud, then some restaurant grill thing, another "encyclopedia" definition, (http://catb.org/jargon/html/F/FUD.html) and finally the urbandictionary entry you note.

*Y'all*. Or more properly, You all. >:D

Third link? You mean this?

Isn't it "Weegie" rather than "Weedgie", after all there is no "d" in either glasgow or glaswegian.

And just because it's slang, doesn't mean to say it shouldn't be spelt properly... Number of times that I've seen "choob" spelt as "tube"... Doh!

Anyway...

My favourite slang term from Glasgow has to be "fud". It's so easy to use.

"Fud"
"Fuddy"
"Fud Features"
"Fud Face"

etc.

I got the link to urbandictionary he mentioned as the fifth hit. My guess as to the difference is locale. Also, that could explain why you don't see it at all.

I always use http://www.google.com/ncr so as not to bias search results towards a particular locale.

Google still uses your individual search history to better arrange search results. At least I think they have - if they haven't yet, I read somewhere that that's what they will be doing.
