A word originally coined by Dr Seuss (king nerd himself), meaning someone who is smart. It is now usually used to desribe someone with more knowledge about computers than the average schmuck. Note, there IS a difference between a geek and a nerd. Geek's wish they were as good as nerd's, but at the end of they day, they are just second rate try-hard Nerds

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.

Being a nerd, I know exactly what I want to say. I have 10 statements:
1. Geeks are wanna-be nerds.
2. Nerds can be very preppy.
3. Nerds have fun, most of the time. 4. Nerds can be very popular.
5. Most nerds have a social life.
6. Most nerds get very good grades.
7. Not all nerds wear glasses. If you wear glasses, you're not always considered a nerd.
8. Most nerds don't spend their entire life on the computer. They actually have a life.
9. Those of you who are making fun of nerds.....go ahead. We don't care.
10. A nerd is probably going to be the one who drastically changes the structure of the world.
So there. 10 things you might have not known about nerds.

Society makes fun of nerds in all ways it can. Don't listen to the stereotypes. If you want to talk, IM me on ccglasses19 or classical19, on AIM.

You are not a nerd unless:
- You are obsessed with computers and know their functions
- You find pleasure in reading books that are very conceptual and difficult to comprehend
- You are rejected by society
- You are antisocial, though, when it's your turn to speak, you sound like the smartest one in the room
- You wear glasses (Usually)
- If you are still in school, you are underestimated by everyone, even if your GPA exceeds a 3.5 (W)
- If you are an adult, you are making well over 6 figures, if not 7 or 8+, and you proved evryone wrong
- Your IQ exceeds your weight
- You do not give a crap about impressing girls/boys
- You are not interested in having a relationship
- You could care less about what you wear everyday
- You have a very strong photographic memory
- Your artwork is unbelievably incredible
- You outsmart/outsmarted your teachers at least 10 times throughout your school days
- You are a perfectionist, though, you are incredibly fast when finishing school work
- You don't necessarily get good grades, though, you are highly career oriented (If still in school)
- You stay away from popular trends (I.E. celebrity news; a new fashion brand; etc.)
If you meet all or most of these requirements, you deserve to be considered a nerd.

Everyone made fun of that nerd who sat next to me in physics class 20 years ago, now, he's a billionaire, and I work for his ass.
