Nerd Emergency 

A Nerd Emergency is the sudden realization that the remaining battery of an electronic device, commonly a laptop, is critically low. When a Nerd Emergency occurs, the 'victim' nerd shouts "Nerd Emergency" causing surrounding nerds to flock to the aid of the 'victim'. A collective effort ensues to connect the electronic device to a power source before it loses power completly.
Nerd 1 (victim): NERD EMERGENCY!!! NERD EMERGENCY!!!
Nerd 2: Begins to untangle power cord
Nerd 3: Locates nearest wall outlet
Nerd 4: Connects power cord to electronic device
Nerd 1: anxiously watches and bites his nails
Nerd 2: Plugs power cord into the outlet located by nerd 3
Nerd 1: Goes back to fixing his ever-broken (but still better than windows) linux distribution

nerd alert 

Phrase used to declare a super nerdy incident.

Phrase used after a very indepth, overly detailed explanation, definition, anticdote, or nerdy personal admission is made. Can be used to describe yourself or others. Can be a diss or a tension breaker for realizing how nerdy you just came off.
Sue: "I used to read black beauty over and over again when I was a kid, we should put that on the list of the greatest books of all time."

Jane later after recounting the incident to Amy.

Jane: Nerd Alert! Could she love the book black beauty any more?!?
Amy: Seriously.

My biochemistry teacher was a super nerd. After she went off on a tangent for about fifteen minutes about some small detail she thought was so cool and she used to study, she realized she was at her nerdiest, and could only recover with exclaiming "Nerd alert!" in her defense and move on.
