Granted it was 10 years ago, so maybe in that time it's gone from being an offensive way to call someone retarded to a more innocent way to signal that something is stupid.<br /><br />But given its reported Matt Stone/Trey Parker origins, I'm inclined to believe my first impression was right.Kalhttps://twitter.com/kalbelgarionnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6926413038778731189.post-38446558648811017242013-06-05T09:51:35.878-05:002013-06-05T09:51:35.878-05:00I have two teenage sons who use the word "der...I have two teenage sons who use the word "derp" a lot, and I have never heard them use it in a way even remotely related to the disabled.

It's akin to calling someone a 'retard.' I'm a little surprised to see none of the commentators discourage its use on those grounds. Kalhttps://twitter.com/kalbelgarionnoreply@blogger.com
