This totally off topic, but back in the day Chad used to mean taking a giant dump or being a little piece of shit. So to me, you basically said the same thing twice.

I feel like the whole reason that changed was a Dad told his son "stop being a Chad kid". So, when the kid asked what that meant, the Mom stepped in and said it means a cool dude. Then started telling all his friends "My Dad thinks I'm a Chad!"

So now its a giant Dad joke that has whooshed a whole generation.
