It's like a dumbass and a jerk combined, but different. I haven't heard anyone call anyone else a TERP since the 90s sometime.

A "TERP" is somebody who goes to the college that has Terrapins as their mascot

"TERPS" is the document that is used to build approaches, departures, and stuff like that.

Fly safe!

TERP = terminal instrument procedures

The criteria used to establish instrument approach obstacle clearance. Circling minimums for the different categories (A,B,C...) are based on TERP criteria and then increased to give a little bit of a safety buffer. ICAO circling minimums provide a larger protected area than what the FAA deemed necessary, for whatever that's worth.

TERPS - U.S. Standard for Terminal Instrument Procedures, FAA Order 8260.3B. The criteria used for development of most instrument flight procedures in the U.S.A.

Technically, not TERP but TERPS. The term is not used for a single procedure, but means the entire set of criteria used to build procedures.
