The etymology of the word Derp is beyond my means or interest to track down. I believe the person responsible for applying it to gun accessories is Tam, though I can’t defend the opinion. Nor am I prepared to offer any precise or encompassing definition. Like pornography, I know derp when I see it.
And I see it.
Yes, the grip-knife. Because … well, just because.
As laughable as you may find this product, if it really is a product which I’m not sure, save a guffaw or two for the website that purports to advertise it. Now, that’s derp.
Full disclosure: I was once very young, and also once possessed a box or two of absurd accessories for my so-aftermarket-it-was-virtually-a-replica M1 carbine, none of which caused the poor sorry thing to actually run for more than 2 or 3 rounds at a time. So I’m laughing with…no, I’m not. I’m laughing at anybody stupid enough to want this. But also at myself, because there was a time.
I have to assume that the website is just broken. Seems like it should be easier to find out what you’re trying to sell than it is to find out you’re doing it from a small house near Akron.
That is pretty ‘derpy’. Especially when shown in slo-mo.
The only knife in handle design that makes any sense to me is that Fiskars hatchet with knife concealed in handle butt. It seems to me to be a handy backup.
I prefer the term “tactitard”, although “tactiderp” might work just as well.
