Foid / Moid definition: what "Foid" / "Moid" means and examples

February 13, 2026

Derogatory shorthand for "Femoid" (Female) and "Maleoid" (Male), dehumanising terms used in extremist online spaces.

These are "Incel" slang terms. Foid is a contraction of "female humanoid," used to strip women of their humanity and reduce them to biological entities. Moid is the male equivalent, often used by the same groups to describe men they dislike. These words are major red flags; they suggest the user is consuming content that views gender relations as a hostile, biological hierarchy rather than a social one.

Examples:

  1. "I saw someone on that forum using the term foid and it felt really aggressive."
  2. "The comments were full of people complaining about foids and moids."
  3. "Using words like foid is a quick way to get banned from most normal chats."
