Everytime I see someone write DERP it reminds me of a body noise. I was wondering exactly what the heck DERP means?

It means like dumbass, or something like that. This shouldn't be in the SOP section.

Oh thanks! It's funny, I always feel obligated to say "Excuse you" or "Bless you" when people say that. Now I sort of understand but wonder the origin of this bizarre nonsensical word.

It's a alienated version of "hurr durr", which was invented by South Park years ago. It became popular recently via extremely valuable sites like 4chan. Just google South Park hurr durr and you will understand the meaning of life.

I was saying it over 12 years ago, south park hardly invented it. It's just a word that sounds nonsensical and stupid. Which is the entire point.
I was a commando you know.

Actually, the word first came from a movie from the 90s, which was by the South Park creators; a year later they actually named a character Mr. Derp who was IN South Park, who yelled Derp! and was generally just stupid as hell.

Because South Park started in the last decade. It's cute that you think that and post it without googling for 2 seconds.

Holy shit south park history is fucking serious guys. Let's get pissed off and argue the validity of a meme's origin.

I think he was pointing out that you had an unwarranted feeling of self-importance because you claimed to be saying the word "derp" before South Park.
He was asking about the origins on it, not about how you were a trail-blazer in the world of terrible memes.
