It comes from the movie C.H.U.D. which came out about 15 years before Donnie, so they're likely taking it from the same place. In the movie it stands for "cannibalistic humanoid underground dwellers"

This is a vital part of the Chapo canon.
it's fascinating how that movie is old but the 90s christian right-wing influencer type guy who's also a paedophile feels plucked straight out of the 2020s.
Televangelists are pretty timeless in that they haven't changed a bit since the 70s.
I thought it was from the movie CHUD but seeing it used in Donnie dark is weird
Fun fact; The earliest attested use of "yeet" in the context of throwing something is a King of the Hill episode from 2000.
Thought it's from this movie: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/C.H.U.D.

"Chlopo's Chapped Mouse"? Sounds like an alt-right chud came through here feeling a little butthurt. Reverted.
lmao
go to the CHUD wiki page to cry about getting callled a CHUD
gets called a CHUD
Donnie Darko takes place in the late 80s iirc so it makes sense given when C.H.U.D. came out? I dunno.
