FUD ??

[Scout106]

Would someone please define what the initials stand for exactly? Thanks

FUD
/fəd/
noun
1. fear, uncertainty and doubt, usually evoked intentionally in order to put a competitor at a disadvantage.

[FresnoRob]

Used most often when the person using "FUD" doesn't have the correct information, or when giving the correct information will destroy their argument.

EDIT: CasperSYTFU beat me to the post.

Some will say it stands for F***ed Up Data

Thanks gents. I needed to provide the definition to a third party.

[Librarian]

Casper had it.

It is distinct from merely being wrong; FUD really needs the intention as noted.

FUD seems to be the word of the month around here. I have seen it countless times a day in various threads.
