Goyim
Isn't that just Yiddish for "boy" or something? I haven't seen or heard that one anywhere other than from Jewish people who sprinkle Yiddish into their English.

Chud is super old, the movie C.H.U.D. (Carnivorous Humanoid Underground Dwellers) came out in 1984 and has been used ever since. It's funny that it's most popular now, but it's as old as the others
These days a lot of slang follows some kind of cookie cutter format. Redpill/blackpill, coomer/zoomer, X-oid, X-maxxing, etc. If it doesn't meet some threshold of social media viability then it's not getting adopted.

Classical old people afraid of death and irrelevance.
Gnarly!
Bodatious!
Tubular!

Corpo, Gonk, and Klep have all wormed their way into my vocabulary!
