    Re: Explain the word "derp" to the unhip among us?

    This forum was the first place I encountered it, so I assumed it came about just because it rhymes with "herp". It appears to means silly or dorky, or maybe clumsy or dopey as applied to a spider with a wobble? But then I noticed it used in other places where there is no herp context that I can see.
    So, errr, explain it to me? Or is this just one of those things that being over 30 disqualifies me from ever understanding?
    Well I'm in my 50's and I take it to mean stupid or silly. Kind of like saying "duh!"
