move fast in a straight line because or as if driven by the wind

we lie watching the clouds scudding across the sky

three small ships were scudding before a brisk breeze

slap, beat, or spank

she scudded me across the head

a mass of vapoury clouds or spray driven fast by the wind

the water is glassy under a scud of mist

the picturesque shoreline disappeared into low-cloud scud and rain

a type of long-range surface-to-surface guided missile able to be fired from a mobile launcher
