Adam and I have a very good friend that taught us all about derders and I am going to share this valuable information with you now.

I have been collecting derders in the past couple of weeks all in preparation for this amazing post! Seriously, though…this is more for fun than anything which I would say is definitely in need after my earlier ranting about breast cancer screening.

Now, I once thought this friend of mine was soooo smart and brilliant for coming up with the derder but after googling it I find that he didn’t necessarily “create” the derder (I don’t know…maybe he did and the dictionary just omitted his name, darnit to heck). I found the following definition: “Cylindrical light-stock cardboard tube used to wrap toilet paper and paper towels, among myriad other paper and card stock products. Once the paper is exhausted and it is no longer used in its original capacity, it is used to trumpet one’s voice around the room or venue in similar fashion to a megaphone.”.

Whether he is the derder creator or not he still is awesome and we (Adam and I) still give him full credit. Below is a bevy of derders that I collected from around the house. You see, it doesn’t have to just be a TP roll for pete’s sake…for example, pvc pipe makes an AWESOME derder, gift wrap rolls too!

So….I challenge you now~go to your nearest bathroom, unroll an entire roll of TP and yell derder through it as loud as you can to those around you and see what they do. I double dare you.
