To wear glasses that you don't need, or different clothes than you normally do in order to obscure your true identity. So called for Superman's alter ego Clark Kent, who by the simple act of wearing glasses and a tie was somehow able to avoid people realizing they were the same person.
"Take a look at John, he's totally Clark Kenting it to impress that Jessica chick from his econ class."
"What do you mean?"
"He doesn't need glasses, that dude has 20/20 vision. He's just trying to look intelligent so she'll like him."

adj: Used to describe a nerd or nerd-like person who is muscular, really strong, or can fight really well(see diesel). Can also be used to describe business men who hit the gym way too much and like to wear shirts and ties so tight that you can see their muscle coming through. Taken from the obvious "Superman" movies, cartoons and series.
Bully #1: "Damn dude - what happened to your eye?"
