NERD

Nerd (n.) – nerdious meius maximus: A rare and delightful creature often found covered in paint, eating 20-pounds of almonds in one sitting, and enthusiastically hyping up the men in masks. Identified by erratic bursts of creativity, spontaneous dances moves, and the ability to turn any topic into a passionate TED Talk. Warning: Prone to bouts of chaotic kindness and existential monologues at 3am. Approach with snacks and compliments. Will become your favorite kind of unstable.
Person A: "Why is Mei painting a cat mural on the fridge while explaining that a smoothie is just a type of soup to the pizza guy?"
Person B: "Oh, she's just being a nerd again."
Person A: "A what?"
Person B: "You know—nerd—a snack-fueled, art-powered, chaos-sprinkling whirlwind of extroverted genius and mildly unhinged joy. Classic Mei."

Gaggle of Nerds

Gaggle of Nerds (noun):

A chaotic yet endearing group of highly intelligent individuals who, like a gaggle of geese, travel in packs, honk over plot holes, and occasionally hiss at factual inaccuracies. Known to flock around comic book stores, convention centers, and whiteboards covered in equations. Approach with snacks and an open mind.
Oh boy, watch out! Here comes a gaggle of nerds going to the new Magic release party.

Deep Nerd

Deep nerd refers to a person who does not appear nerdy at first glance but betrays his nerd-dom by exposing his obsessive interest in a particular subject. Think of the sports fan who can cite particularly obscure statistics.
DJ Split tries to play it cool but I knew he was deep nerd when he told me the name of the sound engineer on the record he was playing.
