Derp as a word was first largely used in Baseketball the movie. This is fact. Matt & Trey run their own extremely NON PC show on Comedy Central. I think you know the one. This is also fact. In ALL 15 SEASONS of that show, they have NEVER ONCE used the word derp(y) as a DIRECT SLUR AGAINST ANY of their clearly undeniable disabled charaters (Jimmy and Timmy both seem WAY more disabled than Derpy Hooves to me). They have only used it as an expression of consternation when making a slapstick blunder or mistake, similar to another made up word, Homer Simpson's DOH. If Matt & Trey intended the word to be a synonym for a slur, they would use almost certainly use it as such. Since there are ZERO accepted academic resources that currently define derp(y), Matt & Trey must have the most influence on what it should mean since they invented it. Since they have never used it as a direct synonym for the derogatory "retarded", then to claim that it is discriminatory anyway seems frivolous. And Urban Dictionary DOES NOT count as a source. On UD's OWN website it indicates they will not take down INCORRECT DEFINITIONS on their removal page. This proves there are incorrect definitions all over UD, hence why it is NOT an acceptable academic source of proving things objectively. There is a huge difference between personal insult and actionable discrimination.
