What does "derp" mean in internet slang?
The term "derp" is used to describe a foolish, awkward, or clueless action, mistake, or moment. The structure is an onomatopoeic nonsense word that emerged from early internet and meme culture to represent stupidity or absent-mindedness in a light, non-serious way. It is informal slang and is often used humorously or self-deprecatingly rather than as a harsh insult.
Examples
I spilled coffee all over my notes, derp!
