A lerp is similar to an [otaku]. A Lerp is often socially awkward, because they bring up things such as anime or video game characters in public conversations and expect it to be acceptable - but anyone who understand the reference [facepalm]s, and anyone who does not avoids the lerp. A lerp is almost always depressed, despite knowing their flaws, do not change, instead opting to complain about how no one likes them. A lerp also talks alot about their ex-spouses. Lerps take personal offense to ANY practical joke and are immensely oversensitive. Lerps are actually so arrogant that they do not even realize that they look down on everyone.
