A portmanteau of the words "Train" and "Nerd". It is a term used to describe certain individuals who derive an identity for themselves around trains and train-related activities.
While the term Foamer is used by those within the community to describe a train enthusiast who figuratively "foams at the mouth" when discussing or engaging in train-related activities, Terd is used by individuals outside of the train enthusiast community to describe those within it in a condescending manner. Usually with a tone of disgust.
Persons who might use the word would generally have no idea what the subject is talking about, nor would ever want to because trains are stupid.

"Oh my God, you fucking terd...I don't give two shits about how the specific wheel slip screech on your favorite locomotive makes you jizz yourself."
