a geek, however the average nerd does not consider him/herself awesome, like a geek. A nerd will usually be more rigorus in their intellectual activities rather than in nonintellectual activities.
Frank was a nerd, however his friend Joe (his LAN party friend) was a geek who was shmoozing with friends.

Get the nerdmug. One with far-more-than-average knowledge of a subject, such that said subject becomes the ruling force of their life, resulting in a heavily depleted set of social skills; despised and/or pitied by geeks and norms alike.
Typically applied to computers, though any subject is viable for nerd-dom.

Get the nerdmug. cf. social retard
A person who lacks social skills. Drawn to anti-social hobbies (video games, reading, role-playing) as a result. Generally believe their unpopularity stems from them being smarter than the rest of us, that they'll grow up to be Bill Gates, etc. In fact, nerds are usually the least well-equipped to deal with life outside of school, and even when they do possess intelligence, still aren't smart enough to learn to express their intelligence in more acceptable ways, i.e. like all the smart people out there who aren't nerds do.
