the group of people who will most likely make a life changing invention that will radically change the world. the computer was invented by a nerd. the macintosh/apple and windows were invetned by nerds. jocks and normal people have no claim to civilization except for being the hard labor. nerds actually do the thinking. so jocks, fuck you, and go eat your steroids
Nerds created almost everything that civilzation needs, such as computers, calculators, windows, etc.

people who are smart, especially in the ways of computer science and math. They are not necessary ugly, socially retarded, or unathletic, though most people believe that they are.

The people responsible for all the awesome shit we have (the internet, for example). Also the people responsible for bringing us the best movies, TV shows, books, video games, and the list goes on...
The Simpsons (in its heyday), Futurama, South Park, The Mario, Donkey Kong and Zelda franchise of video games, and the ability to communicate with anyone in the entire world in a fraction of a second are just some of the awesome things we can attribute to nerds.

1. A person who is a realist and not an idealist. He/she sees the world for what it truly is and learns from its mistakes and in turn, becomes very successful in life.
2. One who has a vast knowledge about a certain subject, but is not obsessed with it. Don't get us confused with geeks as they are wanna-be nerds who have no life and are obsessed with whatever their fascinations are (usually WoW and shit).

A nerd is an interesting sort of idea. To some, the idea comes simply: glasses, nasal, scratchy voice. Inhalers, pocket protectors. Whatever the hell.
I think a nerd is something else. Someone who has a large IQ, sure. But doesn't act that way. A nerd is a person who plays video games, spend their money on new releases and Trading Card Games. Ones who, online, are actually, well, literate. A nerd can be extremely annoying or really cool. Depending on your point of view. And hey, since they have a non existant life, they have all the time to talk to you. One more thing: Nerds like to trash talk a lot of things behind your backs. Rap, emo, goths.. Whatever is around the bend.

Face it. Nerds whoop your butt. Not only are they smart, but they can have you on your butt crying when it comes to the infamous XBox queen. Halo.
