derpy

Charmingly awkward online

Derpy describes someone or something that looks or acts foolishly clumsy, awkward, or dopey—often endearingly so.

The word emerged from internet culture, frequently applied to cartoon characters with crossed eyes or goofy expressions: The dog's derpy face made everyone laugh.

A derp is a moment of stupidity; to derp is to act like an idiot.
