Nerd

A person who's highly intelligent and generally is against the mainstream of society. Unlike the goths, they are truely non-conformists. In the past they were generally shunned by society due to a lack of physical attractiveness, intelligence, and unusual maturity. A great illustration of Nerd life "back in the day" is the Revenge of the Nerds movies. In the modern area a "nerd" no longer is shunned from society. A modern nerd generally likes computers and video games. They could look like the nerds of old but they can also look like normal people.
Many have theorized to why nerds have been accepted into the mainstream. Two popular theories is that when video games became mainstream nerds and their mortal enemies the jocks were able to become friends. Also because computers now dominate our society nerds are accepted.
Also take note that the portion of nerds who are still shunned from society have became either a goth or an emo.

"I love Nerds" Man..I wish girls wore those shirts back when I was a kid.

nerd cable

The use of BitTorrent, hulu.com, rapidshare.com, etc. to download and watch TV shows instead of regular cable.

I missed Battlestar Galactica on SciFi last night, but I caught it later on nerd cable.

Nerd Nest

a tangle of wires and other assorted guts of the technological kind which intertwine to make, hence the name, a nest that looks like that of a bird's nest. Often found in cramped, small rooms containing many gaming consoles.

Cissy: "Where is my sister?"
Sevvy:"In her nerd nest playing Halo 3."

Nerd Porn

Any science related media including magazines and television on the topics of math, physics, geology, cosmology etc that excites a self described nerd.

I was watching the science channel and my girlfriend accused me of wanting to look at Nerd Porn instead of her.

preppy nerd

Someone who has good grades, but also still makes time for friends and good times. They do wear glasses, but the type that you see in magazines not on harry potter. They own high socks and sweater vests, but at the same time they do not scare away all of the male species by making it look like a fashion disaster. They manage to look quirky, instead of a social leper.

Man she's a preppy nerd, I'd whisk her away from the library.

She's actually out partying, she must be a preppy nerd, not a grosse nerd.

I'm in love with a preppy nerd, she may be smart, but she's hot.
