nerf herder
Livestock handler insult
A nerf herder is someone who herds nerfs—large, smelly livestock in the Star Wars universe.
The term functions as an insult suggesting someone is unsophisticated, low-class, or stupid: You stuck-up, half-witted, scruffy-looking nerf herder!
Outside Star Wars contexts, it's used playfully to call someone a fool or yokel, carrying affectionate irony among fans.
