nerd sweat 

the odor that exists in game stores, such as Game Stop and EB Games. The smell comes from nerdy kids playing video games all day in an enclosed environment. This only applies to the game stores in shopping centers, because there is not enough ventilation.
Alex and his friend Tommy walked into EB Games to buy a new game for their PS3s, and once they entered they could smell nerd sweat in the air.

nerdspeak 

The common language used between two or more 'nerds', 'geeks', 'the overly intelligent' etc. Most easily identified when the group is talking about a subject so vastly complicated, that when another person, who is not familiar with said subject, tries to join in the conversation, is hopelessly, completely and utterly lost in the void of ultimate ignorance. This word can also be used when one 'nerd', 'geek', or 'overly intelligent' individual is speaking out loud and to themsevles, usually without noticing what they are doing.
geek 1: Did you catch episode 356 last night?
g2: Yeah, I did.
g1: What did you think?
g2: Oh, I thought it was good over all but lacked the suspense shown in episode 355. Also, the griggin obviously stole the Jewel of Harld, otherwise how could Mayehj have Freeze Rayed that doulf without obtaining negative force damage?
g1: Hm, you make a good point. But the Freeze Ray has a special ability which allows any vireg to encase a doulf in the Icicle of Death without obataining negative force damage. This ability is able to activate without the Jewel of Harld beacause Mayehj had, in episode 274, been granted the Sceptar of Kawe from the Princess of Weque.
g2: Ah, now I understand.

Now imagin that conversation being carried out with a completely clueless individual sitting between geek 1 and geek 2. Thus, nerdspeak.

Nerdswag 

Typically used proceeding a # when updating your social media status, nerdswag denotes that you believe you're activities are typical of the stereotypical nerd. A "#nerdswag" in a post necessarily implies that you don't care what people think of your nerdy activity or achievement.

An easier way to think of it, is simply looking at the word. Nerd + swag = nerdswag. All the intellectual strengths of being nerd, and all the social benefits of having swag.
"I'm worried that this 1,000 word paper is gonna turn into a 2,500 word paper; and the professor only asked for 5 resources but I have 17. #nerdswag"

"I'm seriously considering taking 17 credits next semester. #nerdswag"
