When hurf durf is seen, it is understood that whatever has been quoted and labeled as hurf durf is completely and utterly unreasonable and impossible of being taken seriously.

Generally used when quoting someone, especially (but certainly not limited to) in the context of an internet game forum. Hurf durf occurs when someone goes on a long-winded tangent about something that is universally insignificant but is present in the original poster's mind and is EXTREMELY important to that person. A declaration of hurf durf is generally directly followed by an ad hominem or general attack on the idea which was proposed.

Most often occurrences of hurf durf are unreasonable demands to alter a law or game mechanic so it will serve the needs of a very specific group, leaving all others effected at a disadvantage.

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
