Nerd

Nerds are people that come onto urbandictionary.com to write favorable, biased, definitions of themselves so they can raise their self esteem a little bit because they have no friends. You may find the nerds at your school getting picked on by the jocks or "popular group". They always try to convince themselves and other people that they will end up making more money than said jocks and "popular group", which is not necessarily true because jocks can sometimes, if they are good enough, make it to professional sports, and the "popular group' is usually rich to begin with and will take over the family business and will have nerds do the dirty work for them.
Nerd 1: "Hey, lets go add good things about nerds on urbandictionary.com and wikipedia.org so people can think we are cool!" *Does a snort laugh and pushes glasses up on his nose*

Nerd 1: "Wait, let me finish this game of Dungeons and Dragons first!" *Does a snort laugh and pushes glasses up on his nose*

Nerd

Often confused with geek. A nerd is simply a socially inapt and possibly autistic person - usually a young white male. Nerds may or may not have a high IQ, and they tend to prefer being alone or with fellow nerds who they know will not judge them. Even if they're intelligent, nerds are very undisciplined tend to make average grades in high school because they spend their study hall period daydreaming about World of Warcraft and and the Lord of the Rings trading card game (which they play at their mom's house with male friends each Saturday night while their classmates are going on dates). As a result of feeling inadequate they usually never put their intelligence to real use and usually end up working fast food jobs and rarely lose their virginity.

Geeks on the other hand are just intelligent guys with interest in technical knowledge (such as computers) - but are not actually socially inapt and are likely very mature for their age (while nerds are less mature for their age). They may still be made fun of by the extremely prejudiced because they put school and work over partying and fun, but you will likely end up working for them once you're out of high school while they'll be paying more in taxes then you earn in a year.
Nerd speak: Hey joe did you get the new expansion pack for world of warcraft yet? Its so awesome hahahah! I found a glitch in it where i can make the character walk through a wall and get all the way to the end boss in like just 1 hr. normally that takes all day. and when i do that the boss is at level 1 even though hes supposed to be at level 50 if you get to him the normal way so i killed him in one punch because i was at level 10!! lolololo sweeet!!! if you wanna come play with me and ned this saturday i'll show you how to do it. My mom said its okay!

Geek speak: I got accepted to Yale on a full scholarship and I'm heading there this fall. I waited too late to apply for financial aid at Harvard so I guess I'll just have to settle for my safety school. I'm thinking of studying neurosurgery in medical school. It's a toss up between either that or a major in aerospace engineering. I'll decide later.

Nerd

A person who does not fit in with most of mainstream society because of their apperence (usually glasses, zits, allergies etc.), interests and behaviour, but have a high amount of kowledge in things not always considered 'cool' i.e. anime, warhammer, dungeons and dragons.
Contrary to rumour nerds often have quite good social skills, but only within their own circle of friends. They are usually happier than average because they are less worried about conforming to the majority.

Not to be confused with the geek.
A geek discovered a use for electricity. A geek invented the computer. A geek invented the internet.

A nerd invented World of Warcraft.

Nerd

The most dangerous people in the world. They are often Jewish and wander in packs of other nerds who compete and play each other day and night but no one ever 'wins'. all their 'friends' or trolls as they are to everyone else, have degree's but they all work as cashier's 'with self-esteem'. They resist social demands. They are the greatest cowards to wander the earth. Do not be fooled by their golden boy 'friend' with the 500K credit limit acheived by their daddy bailing them out. He is INSECURE and his 'friends' all leech.
