Crud is a popular term that refers to various types of junk, whether it be old items stuffed away in a closet or a gross substance stuck under a table. It is also often exclaimed as a reaction to hearing or seeing something unfavorable.
The term is commonly used as an alternative to "Crap," because it sounds a little less harsh.
