Morphology

hurr + durr

The phrase is internet slang/imitative speech made of nonstandard or onomatopoeic pieces—'hurr' has no dictionary meaning and 'durr' is an online interjection roughly signalling 'no duh'. Because the constituents do not combine into a predictable compositional meaning and the sense relies on slangy, pragmatic/in-joke knowledge, a B1 learner who only knows the parts would not be able to infer 'meaningless or foolish speech'.

Etymology

Hurr durr began online as a silly sound people used to copy someone saying something stupid, with the parts hurr and durr acting like fake, dumb words. Because it makes a funny, mocking sound, people use hurr durr today to show 'nonsense' or to 'mock' an argument.
