Metanerd 

Someone who was a regular nerd but adapted social skills and has a personality.

Comedians, for example, are metanerds because they often were the quiet kid in school but learned how to turn their immense knowledge into accessible humor.

From META- (beyond, transcending) + NERD
Steve Jobs is a metanerd who combined a knowledge of technology plus a clue as to what people would actually use it for (i.e. not as a computer) and revived Apple from the brink of death by, among other things, introducing iPod and iPhone.

metanerd 

a member of the internet and telecommunications technology community who actively reports on technological developments in the field (as a profession, hobby, or both). this reporting is facilitated by emerging technologies, which are frequently the subject of reports (e.g. twitter, qik.com). individuals frequently cite the reports of other members of the community, resulting in a phenomenon in which new information of any value rarely emerges and members consciously and/or unconsciously promote the marketable technologies they require in order to try to make a name for themselves by drooling all over these technologies without actually doing anything but use them.

Meganerd 

Someone who is so nerdy, that they are considered meganerds. They really like school and/or get good grades. They always go to bed early, usually before 11 o'clock. They have socializing problems- especially texting- and aren't good at flirting. They are also usually scrawny and do not play any sports, (having an IQ greater than how much they weigh), but there are exceptions.

However, the most important quality of a meganerd is that they are very lovable and dorky in their own way <3
"Patrick is such a Meganerd, he keeps talking about school"
"Not as much as a Meganerd as Paul. He went to bed at 10 today."
"Yeah, but I still love him haha."
"Ofcourse. Gotta love our meganerds!"
