About
Foid is a shortened form of the internet slang term femoid, a derogatory term coined by incel communities to refer to women. While "foid" is used interchangeably with "femoid," a term that can be traced back to Reddit and 4chan incel and lookism communities from 2017, it gained renewed attention online in 2024.
Origin
The term femoid arose out of incel communities on Reddit, 4chan and various online forums around 2017. The term is a portmanteau of the words "female" and "android," with the implication being that women are unintelligent and robotic beings preprogrammed to reproduce only with Chads.
An early example of the term "foid" used interchangeably with "femoid" is an April 10th, 2018, post on 4chan's /r9k/[1] board on which an anonymous user posted an image that read, "Around a foid, be paranoid."
Spread

On July 3rd, 2018, an anonymous user on 4chan's /pol/[2] used the term "foid" as well, posting an image of a Dora the Explorer cosplay, writing, " How about those foids, right guys? I hate chads. Post your best feminazis getting btfo or red pills about feminism here."
On November 23rd, 2023, the Australian news agency TheFeedSBS posted a video titled, "Lunch with Incels," where at the 1:22 timestamp, an anonymous incel uses the term "foid." An Instagram[4] post of the clip gathered over 2,000 likes, while a repost to Twitter[5] / X noted the use of the term foid, gathering over 700,000 views and 5,000 likes in a year.
