herf

1. (verb): To make an awkward HTML error while typing online, particularly on a messageboard. (also: "herfed up")
2. (noun): An example of past herfing.

A herf is particularly shameful when it ruins an otherwise excellent zing. Usually a herf will result in the HTML code being displayed instead of the intended hyperlink or image. A particularly timely herf can turn the pwner into the pwned.

(etymology: from a common typo of "HREF," a vital piece of hyperlinking code.)

I had the perfect zing for username:peterbing but then I totally herfed up the picture of the donkey dildo!
