Has anyone else ever heard of an MD-PhD student being called a "mud-phud"? I'm in a PhD program (and have several friends that are MD-PhD candidates) and my wife is an MD and I've never heard of this term.

I’m a mud-phud, use it myself and have heard it used all over!

Wow, so interesting. I go to school in the northeast. I'll have to ask around.
