NERD

Nerd (n.) – nerdious meius maximus: A rare and delightful creature often found covered in paint, eating 20-pounds of almonds in one sitting, and enthusiastically hyping up the men in masks. Identified by erratic bursts of creativity, spontaneous dances moves, and the ability to turn any topic into a passionate TED Talk. Warning: Prone to bouts of chaotic kindness and existential monologues at 3am. Approach with snacks and compliments. Will become your favorite kind of unstable.

Person A: "Why is Mei painting a cat mural on the fridge while explaining that a smoothie is just a type of soup to the pizza guy?"
Person B: "Oh, she's just being a nerd again."
Person A: "A what?"
Person B: "You know—nerd—a snack-fueled, art-powered, chaos-sprinkling whirlwind of extroverted genius and mildly unhinged joy. Classic Mei."
