Derse

Derse is a portmanteau of the words "dearth" (meaning scarcity) and "terse" (meaning clean or concise). The name was coined by Andrew Hussie (author of Homestuck) to distinguish a particular planet in the comic/franchise.

The planet "Derse" is in opposition to the planet "Prospit". Prospit is also a portmanteau - prosperity + respite.
In the game spurb, there are players who are Dersites and players who are Prospitians.

Dude, I passed out and next thing I know I'm staring out at the purple towns of Derse!

Getting Dersed

When someone tells you they’re going to do something and they do the opposite.

My buddy told me he would be on Xbox soon 2 hours ago I guess I’m getting dersed.
