OK I know FUD (Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt) an OP (Original Poster) but what's FUAD?

jaymzbo · 11-04-2007, 06:40 PM

had to look that one myself...I was surprised to see that it might mean "forget you and die" or "f you and die" as I have never seen it used in such a negative context

So before I joined the fourm i had no idea what FUD is... actually i have to admit although I have pretty much figured out how to use it in an sentance and the rough meaning I was wondering:

If anyone out there actually knows what FUD stands for?

Thanks

If you go to Google and enter an acronym, you usually can get answers. IN this case:

"Fear, uncertainty, and doubt."

well yes, but a specific kind. BS used to create fear uncertainty or doubt in a consumer of a competitors product in such a way as to stop them from buying.

I kinda like Fu__ed Up Drivel. Which is what the hd dvd camp and it's fanboys who troll on here spread like crazy.

I always thought of it as something posted that gives you some doubt as to your format of choice. Usually spread with half truths or outright lies.

You will also find it is WAY overused in some posts, not even relevent to the topic.
