FUD
Fear, uncertainty and doubt: crypto shorthand for scary news, rumors or negative talk about a project or market.
In more detail
You'll see people call a story FUD when they think it is spreading needless panic. You'll also see the label used to brush off awkward questions. Context matters: a rumor can be nonsense, and a worrying report can be true. Saying FUD isn't the same as answering the concern.
How you might use it
Everyone called the exploit report FUD until someone linked the affected transactions.
