7. "Chud the builder" is what he calls himself

"Chud" is a slang insult used to describe someone who is socially unpleasant, foolish, or politically reactionary, often with connotations of unattractiveness or boorish behavior.

Where does chud come from?
It has been theorized that chud comes from the 1980s sci-fi horror movie C. H. U. D.

“They’re not staying down there anymore!” shout the ads for “C.H.U.D.”, which stands for “Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers.” … the Chuds are bums, made radioactive and real mean by secret stashes of nuclear waste material.
—David Elliott, The Village Voice, 31 Aug. 1984
