2. n. Someone who promotes a way of life that aggravates hippies.
Fans of "Star Trek" may recall the episode in which Captain Kirk was called a 'Herbert' by the "Space Hippies", much to his chagrin. Most believe this episode marks the point at which the series Jumped the Shark.

Kirk: What does 'Herbert' mean?
Spock: It is, um, somewhat, uh, uncomplimentary, Captain. Herbert was a minor official...notorious for his rigid and limited...patterns of thought.
Kirk: Well, I shall try to be less rigid in my thinking.
