Title: Origins of Derp.
Post by: YouheiSunohara24 on November 25, 2012, 01:23:42 pm
Ya know.. I've been wondering where the word "Derp" came from... I hear it all the time, and I also say it a lot... but... where did it come from? o3o

Uhm, from what I remember, something involving South Park brought it to light. A guy kept hitting his head and saying 'derp' while doing it. I think.

But Derp is like a, well it has several meanings from what I gather, and it's like...
Someone can be a derp - meaning they're weird, out of the  ball park kinda way, funny and just plain random.
It also describes an action I suppose. Like a 'post-retardedness comment' when someone done something stupid and easy to figure out. As in asking a question that's easy to answer.
It can also describe a face

And that's all  I remember. But from what SP did, I'm pretty sure it's the 2nd definition. So yeah. Hope that sheds some light.

It was that episode where some guy served as some sort of head chef or something and then whacked his head repeatedly stating the term. I don't watch the show so I'm clueless on what episode that was. That show is so...IDK...I can't even word it.

In general the term today is used for silliness, but in the beginning it was more related to be a crack at mentally challenged individuals.

Or was that hurr durr....know what, I don't know anymore. xD

Derp. It can mean a lot of things. I, personally, like to use that term when talking to Lloyd or Luke... XD
