... or this BLADE II-character's name: "no, 'SCUD' ... like 'Stud?'..."
That word/acronym means a lot of things (a type of missile, a variety of sealife, the Sevier County Utility District, to Run as if Pushed by ... a Gust of Wind, a Cloud that's Moved by such a Windblast ...); but--for today's holiday--that acronym stands for "#Savor the Comedy, #Unplug the Drama!" apparently started by Stephanie West Allen, JD.

To find the holiday's meaning of the acronym, I had to search for 'savor the comedy unplug the drama' specifically (a search for which a fellow-BlogSpotter won the top spot, BTW).

Today's holiday's explanation is linked through 'the main words' below; but first I want to understand those words better. And I find that you understand words better when you look at the other words at the bases of the words you're thinking-of ...
Yes, the acronym SCUD (in this case) does stand for "#Savor the Comedy, #Unplug the Drama" 
The word “Savor” is built on ancient words that mean Taste, Flavor (related to Sapient).

#Savored #Savoring #Savory #Savour

The word “Unplug” (an idea from back when devices had to have their Power-Cords #Plugged into Electricity's Wall-|Socket (devices like Refrigerators, Night-Lights, Microwaves, the Air-Freshener with That Jingle etc.) in order to Operate) is built (with the prefix Un-) on ancient nautical words that mean |Bung, |Stopper 
(often shaped like a |Wad- or Stick of Tobacco ... the Electrical sense comes from  'the Cord having to be |Plunged into the Wall-|Socket; the American sense--meaning Advertisement--comes from the sense of "to Work Energetically at" #PluggingAlong #PluggingAway).

I sometimes get a little 'thrill' from realizing that I have the same birthday as several famous people, and enough other people get that thrill from seeing their birthday-cohort (both the currently-famous & the probably-not-yet famous) that I figure it's worth doing 'one of these entries for every birthday'---maybe focusing on one of these holidays & or event-anniversaries in each entry)?'

Today's Birthday-Cohort

Astrologically, their sign is Cancer ... no matter WHICH stars they were born under: Anjelica Huston (Morticia Addams), Jeffrey Tambor, Marty Feldman (EYE-gor), Raffi, Joan Osborne, Jaden Smith (Jackie Chan's Karate Kid), Kevin Bacon, Milo Ventimiglia (Peter Petrelli in NBC's HEROES), John D. Rockefeller (founder of the Standard Oil Company), President Nelson Rockefeller, Beck, Wolfgang Puck, Hugo Boss, Toby Keith, spiritual/political influencer Marianne Williamson, Elisabeth Kübler-Ross (who brought us 'the Five Stages of Grief')... and lots more I don't recognize (maybe you do recognize some ... you can find the date at the birthday-cohort link)


(and--if you or someone you know about has a birthday today
--please mention them (and how you know them or -know
 about them) in the comments, thanks)

My Heart of the Nation calendar says that we (Catholics) are celebrating with the clergy wearing Green Vestments all day
