"Twerp" appeared in British slang in the early 20th century, possibly as a playful coinage without a clear root, though some link it loosely to earlier dialect insults. It came to describe someone seen as insignificant, contemptible, or irritatingly small-time. The word is used informally, often in mild scolding or humorous insult. It is derogatory but relatively mild.
