Nerf herder/Legends



"Why you stuck-up, half-witted, scruffy-looking nerf-herder!"'' "''Who's scruffy-looking?"

- Princess Leia Organa and Han Solo



A nerf herder, also spelled "nerf-herder" or "nerfherder", was someone who herded nerfs on various planets throughout the galaxy. As it was solely an occupation for lower-class beings, the term "nerf herder" became an insult used throughout the galaxy. Nerf herders were often somewhat simple, but as a result of living outdoors and fighting off anything that interfered with their herds, they became quite capable.

Behind the scenes
A popular pop punk band derived its name from this phrase.
