Someone who is a academically committed. It is usually not a good thing when it gets to extreme (complaining to the teachers about empty syllabi, unprofessional behavior etc.) Anyway, there are a lot of misconceptions about nerds. Here are a few:
1. Someone can act and look totally nerdy, but is an amazing athlete. Likewise, someone can look fit and great at playing cool, but can't play sports to save their life.
2. Nerds can act like nerds at school, but when they get
home, they are just like any regular kid who is not a nerd (
maybe even more
awesome!) This is sometimes but not always caused by
parents who are very strict about academic performance.
Jock: You're a nerd I'm gonna
beat the shit outta you!
Nerd: All right.
Jock: *punches a double punch*
Nerd: *blocks it and side thrusts in the Jocks face which immediate knocks jock
dead.* I'm gonna go out and play some football with the Jocks!
