Oh I got that part, the derf and such I suppose is what I didn't get. Was trying to figure out what the poster read it as. Thanks for the response though
They read it as un-derfed, like un-lucky, and thus they wondered what "derfed" means. For whatever reason my brain read it the same. But in context I read it correctly. I'm not a native English speaker but it's definitely not the first time I'm encountering this word.
Is don't think I've encountered derfed before meaning lucky. Thanks for the heads up. I'm feeling derf right now, would that actually mean the same as I'm feeling lucky?

I had no idea what this word is supposed to mean after the first mention. But when reading it in context it immediately clicked.

Am slow can you please explain. I was thinking they meant it was under-federated.

"Derfed" is not an actual word and doesn't mean anything. The poster was just using "unlucky" as an example of another word with an "un-" prefix.

Under-fed, as in they ate less than they should've.

Under-fed… as in what the other replies have explained.

derf is the fake number Carly Shay in iCarly used to troll a kid she was tutoring or something so he could fail his exams

I hate that I knew this. My kids' inane shows live inside my head rent free a decade later.

Along similar lines, “unionised” is a different word to chemists and labour negotiators

I propose we start using camelCase for compound words. Writing underFed makes it a lot more clear.

Before reading the context I was thinking of the word underfed as under-federated. Yeah centralized social media is bad, sucks to be underfed.
