Derp existing.
About[]
Derp, much like the gacros, the subject is typically portrayed with eyes that are pointed to each side. “Derp” is often used in rage comics to replace nondescript names or parts of conversation. Derp is also usually the main character of Rage Comics.
Origin[]
The term became prevalent in the late 1980's as a component of generation X slang. A common retort was a goofy laugh "Uh huh, Uh huh, Uh huh, derp," implying that what was stated previously, was obtuse, obvious, socially awkward, and/or stupid. This character always gets trolled by Trollface
The first known televised instance of the word “derp” comes from the 1998 film Baseketball by South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone. During a scene where they are caught smelling underwear taken from a woman’s private drawer, Matt runs out of the room and says “Derp.”
Spread[]
