@81.209.29.7: You are being ostentatiously narrow-minded. You seem to reject everything that doesn't fit your bill quote-for-quote. If you open your mind slightly, you'd realize that it's impossible for "derp" to directly mean "retarded" because "derp" is used as an interjection or verb while "retarded" is an adjective. Hence, they cannot be referred to as one and the same. However, it is possible for one word to refer to another, and that's what the interpretations I've been talking about do.

@Prince Doopliss: Yes, that is a much more positive interpretation of the word. Probably the most positive I've ever seen. However, stacked against what negative interpretations of the word exist, I think it was better for Hasbro to play it safe than sorry.
