For the origins of chode and the evolution of the term, there is no better explanation of this than originally from Jlaix (Jeffy) in The Jeffy Show:
Definition of a Chode:
The word chode derives its etymological roots from the ancient Hindi word “chud,” which is a widely recognized pejorative term roughly translating as “asshole.”
In the late 1960s, the word was adapted and popularized by the late underground comic book artist Robert Crumb, who changed the spelling to “choad” and applied the term to fanciful characters such as “Choady McNumbnuts.”
At this point, the term was commonly used in American counterculture to refer to a “penis that is wider than it is long.”
As time passed, however, “choad” began to metamorphosize once more, taking on alternate spellings, and yea, even alternate meanings.
By the middle of the 1990s, “choad” or “chode” could also be used to refer to the area of the anatomy known as the perineum, or the fleshy area of tissue located between the genitals and the anus (aka the “taint”).
Meanwhile, in San Francisco, the mid-90s internet technology bubble was rising to its peak frenzy. The city was flooded with nerdish assholes with money coming out of their ears, and anus.
Company Xmas parties became lavish affairs worthy of a 16 year old millionaire heiress’ debutante ball, complete with ice sculptures of the CEO on horseback and Phil Collins playing live; homeless would frequently be seen on the streets eating discarded Beluga caviar and foie gras.
Gentrification was rampant, as these nouveau riche began to seek thrills “slumming it” in the formerly gritty Mission district and elsewhere.
Now, on these streets formerly awash with prostitutes and gangbangers, you would see these IT types hobnobbing about with $10 chocolate martinis, dressed resplendently in their ubiquitous, de rigueur uniform: the blue button-down shirt paired with the khaki slacks.
One Saturday night, I recall walking into Blondie’s and counting no less than TWENTY FIVE of these individuals, all dressed in the exact same manner.
Certainly, the shades of blue and khaki varied, corduroy slacks here, a denim shirt there, but make no mistake: their Borg-like hive mind and complete lack of panache was palpable.
It was then and there, at that moment, that I realized what these people were. What their true name was:
CHODE.
The tech bubble burst long ago, and many of these “individuals” sank back into obscurity and relative poverty. But the chode legacy lives on, reminding us that there are those out there with no style, no taste, no self-respect and no game.
Every time a guy dresses in lawn-mower pants and a black t-shirt, every time a guy uses a compliment opener and buys a girl a drink, every time a guy brags about his fancy car and his high paying job, the chode is there, burning in his breast.
Remember the chode, as those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

Chode: anyone who willingly debates the etymology of the word chode.
Touché!
Hindi, not Hindu. And it’s actually pretty contemporary.
Thanks for the correction!
I enjoy the useful material from this Jeffy guy. He has something to say and does it well. He also has the savvy to be fun to read unlike certain of his critics, choads who spend their time quibbling about spelling, etymology and other bullshit that never gets them laid. Sure, they’re easy targets but they’ll thank me someday. How long it takes is up to them.
