Morphology
The phrase is a straightforward noun–noun compound: 'herp' (reptile/amphibian) + 'meme' (online media), so a learner who knows both constituents can infer it refers to online content featuring reptiles or amphibians. While 'herp' is slang and may be unfamiliar to some learners, given knowledge of the constituent words the compositional meaning is transparent and predictable.
Etymology
The phrase herp meme comes from two parts: herp (a short, friendly word for 'reptiles and amphibians') and meme (a 'funny picture or idea' shared online). Because people began posting jokes and pictures of frogs, lizards, and snakes, herp meme now means an internet meme featuring those animals.
