Similar to the phrase "kill two birds with one stone" this term means to complete two discrete tasks with a single action. The term traces its origins to a practice, originally made popular by aspiring major league baseball players on the Gulf coast of Florida, of hurling apples at the apparently limitless number of pesky seagulls.

A "human" that spends so much time playing video games that their posture is level nerd neck. Everytime anyone goes tryhard they hunch down and their neck gets longer there fore a nerd neck is always hunched down cause they're always going try hard. In other words a nerd neck is a try hard, since their neck is 100% longer than the average human being due to playing too many video games and taking them serious, nerd necks are not even considered human anymore but something more sad. Nerd necks are often found on fortnite, their natural habitat usually being tilted towers.
