"Why, you low-down, 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 perceived as 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.
The corresponding adjective for the insult "nerf herder" was "nerf-herding"; when Salla Zend was reunited with her former lover Han Solo, she referred to him as a "nerf-herdin' son of a —."
A pop-punk band derived its name from this phrase.
