get my nerd on 

When needing to immerse oneself in a situation of "nerdy" people, one needs to occasionally adapt oneself to fit in. This is not necessarily a bad thing—it can be hilariously fun and inclusive, rather than having to feel like an outsider. However, it can be bad if the wrong person catches you getting your nerd on, giving them a horribly wrong impression of you (Read: dating potential).
"Man, I'm gonna' SO get my nerd on this weekend at Comic Con."

"Why is it when I go to either a Star Trek convention, Scarborough Faire, or some comic convention, I have to get my nerd on to fit in?"

nerdonym 

--noun Grammar (NURD-uh-nim)

1. Any word whose proper pronunciation is unknown because the word has only been read, primarily in books. Such words are often tragically mispronounced, and may lay dormant for years until the correct pronunciation is heard in conversation.

Frequent usage of nerdonyms indicates excessive reading, likely of science-fiction and/or fantasy books.
Common examples:

• My first recorded nerdonym is "gazebo", which I originally thought was "GAYS-bo".

What do you mean it's pronounced "GRAIN-ing"? I thought it was "Matt GRO-en-ing"!

• Person A: "I'm having a 'DIAL-mama'."
Person B: "A what?"
A: "A 'DIAL-mama'."
B: "Do you mean 'dilemma'?"
A: I thought it was...
B: ...it's 'DILL-emma", dude. You just had a nerdonym.

• "He's a great OH-raider. What? I just discovered a nerdonym, didn't I?"
