Rude fellow bringing back fodder ducks (5)

I believe the answer is:

yahoo

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'rude fellow' is the definition.
'yahoo' can be an answer for 'fellow' (I have seen 'crude fellow' mean 'yahoo' so perhaps 'fellow' could also mean 'yahoo'). I am not certain of the 'rude' bit.

'back fodder ducks' is the wordplay.
'back' says the letters should be written backwards.
'fodder' becomes 'hay' (hay is a kind of fodder).
'ducks' becomes 'oo' (OO resembles two zeroes or 'ducks' in cricket).
'hay' backwards is 'yah'.
'yah'+'oo'='YAHOO'

'bringing' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
