John Waterbury Cudlip (ca 1815 – November 22, 1885) was a merchant and politician in New Brunswick. … Cudlip died in Saint John from injuries sustained from a fire in his home.

I used to think that “cudlip” was just our local idiot’s misquotation from Lawrence of Arabia:

As I am a country girl, I question the lack of awareness of self in cattle. They have selves, they know they are individuals, and they are aware of what other beings think of them. “They” in this case includes cows and horses and pigs. I don’t know about some other creatures.
So maybe I refudiate the idea of unselfawareness of cattle?

If matoko_chan thinks ‘cudlip’ was coined by Richard Morgan then I believe it must be a a misspelling or derivative of another word as there is a very similar word I know of but can’t quite put my finger on this instant.
I admit to reading the book its from, but only just in the last year or two and I knew of the elusive word well before that.
Here’s the definition straight from the horse’s mouth.
I knew it sounded familiar. Thirteen was a good sci-fi book. The follow ups were as good but I still enjoyed them in a mindless action movie kind of way.
In all seriousness, and after many nanoseconds of Googlefu, I believe the term actually does derive from the novel Thirteen by Richard K. Morgan (published as Black Man in the UK).
Embassy cables about Afghanistani corruption coming out now. A taster from the Guardian:
__
In one astonishing incident in October 2009 the then [Afghani] vice-president, Ahmad Zia Massoud, was stopped and questioned in Dubai when he flew into the emirate with $52m in cash, according to one diplomatic report. Massoud, the younger brother of the legendary anti-Soviet resistance leader Ahmad Shah Massoud, was detained by officials from the US and the United Arab Emirates trying to stop money laundering, it says.
__
However, the vice-president was allowed to go on his way without explaining where the money came from.
“Capital flight” is estimated to be at least $200 million per month, and that’s only the amount that is actually physically taken on the plane and declared.
Of course it’s peanuts compared to what the banksters have been robbing from the US, but they are learning.
@morzer: I bet that hurt enough to make his cudlip quiver.
(Apparently I don’t have enough to do at work. Or the ability to think of clever ways to use the word cudlip. Or the self awareness and shame to stop anyway.)

Cud chewing animals swallow the vegitation and then regurgitate it back into their mouths for further chewing later – i.e., the cud is remasticated. The cud lip is the name of the valve type orafices between the herbivore’s stomaches that control the regurgitating actions. Sort of like an intermediatary reverse anus along the alimentary canal.
I’d agree that self-awareness isn’t completely beyond the cow. I’d certainly trust the filthy damn things to vote more intelligently than my oldest brother, a Republican and a teatard.

technically, it derives from Black Man.

in your case and this context, it means commenters that reflexively attack Assange because the oligarchs are holding up an ATTACK NAOW sign, without having a glimmer of Assanges real intent…or because they have let Douchebag tell them what to think without reading the Aaron Bady link themselves.

As I am a country girl, I question the lack of awareness of self in cattle. They have selves, they know they are individuals, and they are aware of what other beings think of them. “They” in this case includes cows and horses and pigs…
True that. Also, they have an awareness that the Universe can be unfair. I am not a country girl, but I did take a Dairy Science class back in college, and there was one cow who’d worked out how to unlock her headstall. So the barn guys put a different mechanism in her stand, and we waited to see what she’d do. Ms. Clever paraded in with the other cows, got latched into her headstall, went through the contortions that should’ve let her wander down the aisle and gloat at her less gifted fellows… and failed. She tried it one more time, and then she shrugged. Literally: lowered her head, cast her eyes upwards, and raised both shoulders: a gesture of token submission towards the Alpha Universe and its whims.
Then she settled down to eat her own dinner, rather than banging around in a futile attempt to make the Universe understand that she had the secret knowing! ! ! … which some would say made her smarter than, oh, certain bigbrain primates determined to prove their superiority to their blog-posting audience…

You mean a mudkip?
I think a cudlip is when you have something pushing your mouth out, like a cow chewing cud.
A wad of chewing tobacco, for example. Basically a cudlip is a hick or a farm animal or some offspring thereof.
