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).

Nerd Pouch

A case for a smartphone / cell phone that is worn visibly - typically on the belt.

The invention of smartphones required consumers to change their cell phone carrying habits since smartphones typically have an outward facing screen that needs to be protected. Nerd pouches were invented and quickly became the new fashion accessory for geeks, replacing the pocket protector. Now nerd pouches are everywhere, though mostly seen being worn proudly around the workplace, on belts with tucked in shirts.

Many smartphone users refuse to be nerdy, and conceal nerd pouches in their pockets or simply carry them around without attaching them to their clothing. Though, in extreme cases, there are the few... the proud... the real men and women who defy all nerdom... who throw caution to the wind and simply put their smartphones in their pockets / purses with no protection at all - not even a screen protector!
I'm never going to wear one of those nerd pouches... the last thing I want is to walk around with some kind of phone utility belt like Batman or something
