A nerd fail occurs when someone with exceptionally well grades (in the 95%ish area) receives anything below 85% on an assignment, quiz, test or exam.
It isn't a fail through the eyes of their peers, but to them THEY FAILED!
1: gah ...im so upset i got 83% on my science test. i failed.
2: you should be happy 83% is really good, totally not a fail.
1: 83% is a very big nerd fail to me.

Get the Nerd Fail mug.
When someone tries to answer a question and gives a really nerdy answer but still gets it wrong
Teacher: What's the square root of 81

Nerd: Well your really asking 2 questions there. The first question you are asking is the equivilant amount of decimetres in an isosoles triangle using inverted fractions. The second question your asking is to divert the amount of hectograms into an acute angle without carrying over the triviums into the septograph

Teacher: Errr, no, the answer's 9

Some Guy: Haha, lol what a dumb smart-ass. He's such a stupid know it all. What a failed nerd
