The feelings a gorgeous girl has for a skinny, pale, far too intellegent, nerdy boy, who does not feel the same way. His name is usually Eric and he is usually an english major, who is far too old for her, but won her over by his brains.
"Eric is Layla's NerdyDreamCrush but he doesn't seem to care. Is he fucking crazy? She's hot as shit?!"
Invented by JP McDaniel, the four pillars of nerddom are the four different types of a nerd.
One can be in all, some, or none of these.
Pillar 1: People who play Starcraft 2.
Pillar 2: People who play Dungeons and Dragons.
Pillar 3: People who play Warhammer 40,000.
Pillar 4: People who play Magic: The Gathering.
"I already play Starcraft 2 professionally and DnD "professionally", I also play WH40k competitively, so if I pick up Magic, then the universe will just divide by zero and explode."
- JP McDaniel
Mike: Hey John which of the four pillars of nerddom did you try to pick up?
John: Tried to pick up Magic but I didn't have the time.
