Here's Urban Dictionary's definition of derp:

A simple, undefined reply when an ignorant comment or action is made. Brought to life in the South Park series, when Mr. Derp made a guest apperance at South Park Elementary as the chef for a day, followed by hitting himself in the head with a hammer and exclaiming "Derp!"

Really?! Go to Know Your Meme. Explains everything in a way that everyone can understand it, especially someone like you who is apparently new to the Internet.

I love how UD can define something as undefined.

I really love how instead of just posting it here and saving us all the trouble, you talk about a website without even giving a link and gives him grief for not knowing the word.

I really love how you commented about not posting the link, and didn't in turn, post the link :P

Pony called Herp Derp

The pony is actually called Derpy Hooves.

Anyway, I think that derp is just a meaningless word used in random situations.

I usually use it as an adjective to modify something to say that they're incredibly stupid...

For example, on Minecraft I call the wolves Derp wolves because they are always committing suicide one way or another (lava...creeper, falling, drowing, suffocating in a wall randomly somehow, jumping in front of my sword/arrow, randomly getting raptured...the list goes on and on) and is comedic.

Derpy Hooves.


What horrible parent names their kid Derpy Hooves.

The Bronies called the pony 'Derpy Hooves' so it's not her actual name.

GOOD. It's still free for my unborn child.

I was saying in a comment outside of this - if UD defines it as undefined it can be left open to interpretation and tailored to any situation. It is somewhat is explained by the context of the subject.
