Is the word "Herbert" really a euphemism for "pervert"?
I never used to think it was, but I have discovered a site which suggests it is.

Damn, you figured out why we're calling you Herbert huh? 馃槣 JK
But seriously, you're asking a small culture things... like a lot of small culture things, yes we culture circles use it, while a lot of others have absolutely no clue about it. But yes it is used in some circles, but I haven't heard it often.

@Viper This isn't about me, my real name is Mark. I was referring to the phrase "this little Herbert here".

@Bewilderbeeste I was making a joke, sorry for the misunderstanding.
It's sometimes used, among certain circles, but not that often from what I've seen

I have never heard it used in that context

@SW-User It's in an Internet script of a TV comedy. They've put "pervert" where it should say "Herbert". What else are they trying to say?

@Bewilderbeeste Very strange. To me, saying someone is a 'right Herbert' means that they have done something stupid not perverted

I can surely attest, that Groofydorkgerdo is indeed a euphemism for pervert.

It means "square" or uncool.
