(Acronym for "White Entitled Liberal Douche")
A
person of
Caucasian decent, typically one who is educated, and/or comes from a middle-class or an upper-class background, who holds views that are both socially and politically liberal, and who tend to be pompous and arrogant about their views. This
person tends to be a Facebook SJW, spouting off their views on issues such as gay, racial, women'
s, and animal rights, climate change, etc., but doesn't do any actual activism to support issues they seem to hold dear. WELDs are often times vegan,
may be seen driving hybrid vehicles with stickers announcing their views, and believe in their hearts that you are part of the problem if you do not do as they do.
I just saw
Grayson's Prius
parked at the yoga studio, and it has a bumper sticker that says, "Love animals.
Don't eat them." What a WELD.
