nerdlinger 

1. The emphatic form of "nerd."
2. A term used by Futurama co-creator David X. Cohen to describe obsessive fans of the show.
Translated from the Futurama Season 4 DVD Box Set:
*THIS DVD INCLUDES A SPECIALLY ENCODED EASTER EGG WHICH YOU ARE NOW METICULOUSLY TRANSLATING FROM AN ALIEN LANGUAGE BECAUSE YOU HAVE NO LIFE AND COMPULSIVE NERDLINGER. HOW SAD. ITS ESPECIALLY SAD IF YOU DON'T SPEAK ENGLISH AND YOU HAVE TO TRANSLATE THE ALIEN LANGUAGE INTO ENGLISH AND THEN INTO YOUR OWN TONGUE AND YOU COME UPON A WORD LIKE NERDLINGER WHICH REALLY ISN'T A WORD AT ALL. BUT STILL APTLY DESCRIBES SOMEONE WHO WOULD ACTUALLY TRASLATE SUCH A WORD. TWICE. AND THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE READING THIS TRANSLATION ON A FUTURAMA NEWSGROUP AREN'T ANY BETTER. WE LURK ON THOSE NEWSGROUPS AND WE KNOW WHAT NERDLINGERS YOU GUYS ARE. TOO. OF COURSE. YOU'RE ALSO PROBABLY OUR BIGGEST FANS. WHICH IS SAD IN ITS OWN WAY. BUT. SINCE YOU WENT TO ALL THIS TROUBLE TO TRANSLATE AN EASTER EGG. WE DO OWE YOU SOMETHING. SO HERE'S A SECRET ABOUT THE SHOW. THE WRITERS. PRODUCERS. DIRECTORS. AND MOST OF THE ACTORS WHO WORKED ON THE SHOW ARE ALL NERDLINGERS. TOO.

Herp-nerding 

Present participle of herp-nerd (Verb).

The act of engaging in behavior which focuses on an object or circumstance peripheral to the immediate object or circumstance at hand.

The act of herp-nerding essentially introduces an extra element of humor by slightly derailing norms by focusing on something that doesn't need to be focused on, making it the new topic of focus. This act alters the attention from the immediate focus, to a peripheral focus.
(ex 1): Two individuals sit in a restaurant looking over a menu. This is the (normal) immediate object or circumstance at hand.

Herp-nerding would ensue if one or both of the two individuals were to take the menu, the silverware, and all objects on both sides of a table and attempt to match them up equally, as if each of the objects on both ends of the table were mirror images of one another.

The focus (and act of herp-nerding) would shift from reading the menu and ordering food, to mirroring the objects--the focus changed (from reading/ordering food) to (playing with and mirroring the objects on the table).
