General: A nerd is a person that that is generally defined as a social outcast. Nerds are usually defined as, "one whose IQ is greater than their weight". However, nerds are not always
smart. They may vary in different ways. Read below for a detailed
definition.
Age range: Could be ages 5-100. most commonly ages 12-24.
Physical Traits of a common nerd: This may vary. They tend to have unatractive qualities or characteristics like, Really skinny build, or really
fat, Combed over hair or frizzy hair, acne,
thick glasses,
big eyebrows, no muscular traits whatsoever, freckles, Buck teeth, braces, carrying science books, pale complextion, (from being seldom outside, high voice, tend to drool often (because their mouth often hangs open), crappy shoes, have overalls -(however rare today), have high striped socks pulled all the way up, a pocket protector, have a Bowtie, or a plaid shirt, and have their hands clamped up like Seals.
Mental traits of a common nerd: Generally, a nerds behaviour often appears odd to others, and nerds rarely notice their odd or eccentric behaviour. For example, most nerds tend to not be interested in any sport(s) whatsoever. They are most commonly REALLY into video games and computers so much, that it becomes an obsession, and they dedicate their lives to it.
Games are the biggest thing amongst nerds, especially online games such as, Counter-Strike, Starcraft, Diablo 2, and dungeons and dragons. Don't get me wrong, nerds are in EVERY online game, just those are they key games that nerds tend to "
flow" into.
Movies they are intersted in could be Star wars, Star trek. Lord of the rings,etc. Taste in movies is generally always a sci-fi genre.
Music that a sterotypical nerd would listen to is
techno, or a tune with little or no beat or rythum, even though many nerds have better interests in
music than that.
Generally bullied physically and verbally by popular
kids, and jocks. Nerds tend to have extremely poor social skills, therefore becoming unpopular and disliked by others. Most nerds tend to call normal people "noobs" because they on't excell at
computer gaming skill as much as they do, but most of them don't even have a girlfriend, or a social life, which means they are "noobs" in the real world.
Positive attributes of nerds: It may be the sad
truth, but the world today is run by nerds! (well, the
smart ones who actually do something with their life) They have dramatically changed our world today. Without them, there wouldn't be, satellite, Computers, video games, or
internet. That's right this was actually all created and done by nerds. Notice the richest man in the history of the world happens to appear as a nerd? (
Bill Gates) It may be fun to critisize nerds today, (even though I sort of am) But some of them may end up being your boss one day!
Urkal, Napolean Dynamite and George Mcfly in back to the future in the past are great examples of nerds.
