Yeah, but that doesn't mean it was used regularly as slang, or that it carried the same connotations. "Lowkey," has been around for ages, but it wasn't slang until the late 90s, and it isn't even used the same way. ("Keep it lowkey," vs., "that was lowkey brilliant.")

    I feel like it was though. Chode was maybe more common, but chud was used too. The movie followed the name afterall, not the other way around.

    Your example for lowkey is using it as an adverb as opposed to an adjective. A chud has always been a noun.
