A geographical location where nerds congregate, often to live, socialize, or work. In nerd ghettos, most occupations are performed by nerds in a unique form of vertical integration. Thus nerds are your politicians, teachers, businessmen, bureaucrats, bankers, technicians, auto mechanics, used car salesmen, dentists, customer servants, flunkies, gardeners, housekeepers, gas station attendants, janitors, garbage collectors, nurses, and so on. In a nerd ghetto you can strike up a conversation about computers with just about anybody, and everyone's intellect deserves respect.
Anytown, USA is such a nerd ghetto that even the cats are intellectuals. Yesterday I was practicing my book report on War and Peace and Fluffy seemed to be listening the whole time.
