All nerds share one common attribute; they think they are more intelligent than normal people. However, there are many types of nerd, here are a few:
* Computer nerd: Usually very fat and very pail. Computer nerds are incapable of carrying out any physical activity more strenuous than typing on a keyboard, they often exhibit terrible body odour and show little care for their appearance.
* Goth nerd: Obviously the goth nerd wears black clothes, they are usually into stupid interpretations of Wicca and/or role-playing games. Curiously for nerds they often don’t smell too bad.
* Metal nerd: Metal nerds once again wear black clothes, they also have long hair and have the most rancid body odour of all nerds. Obviously they listen to heavy metal music.
* Retired nerd: These are over the age of 70 and are usually into collecting some meaningless thing; like stamps or bottle caps, or anything else that is incredibly boring.

a very intelligent person who often has no street smarts. The stereotype of a nerd has been a sweater vest-wearing, bespectacled, braces-clad, person with pocket protectors and plays video games (ex: Halo). May also spend large amounts on computer and like watching Monty Python. Nerds are different from geeks, in that geeks are not necessarily smart but still act semi-repulsively. With the huge influx of smart Asians, nerds are slowly becoming extinct.

Nerd are people who concerned with mainly things seen as 'uncool' by the general populace. Being extraordinarily tech-savvy, skilled at video games or role-playing games, very well informed in the maths or sciences, are some of the main characteristics. They are 'the smart ones.'
But those of you familiar with the theory of multiple intelligence should know that while nerds may be smart in some regions, their defining feature is being socially 'stupid.' They cannot interact well with anyone, often not with other nerds. This does not make them bad people, nor good. It just means they are not interpersonally intelligent. In some cases, interpersonal intelligence is more useful than technical, so shut up about being proud of nerdiness!
If you are socially inept, it does not mean you are a nerd. Likewise, you can be intelligent and like uncool things but it does not mean you are a nerd. Any definition that says nerds can have social lives and lots of friends and can be popular- they are wrong. Those are not nerds. Those are smart people who are obviously socially intelligent. A nerd requires BOTH aspects of 'uncool' interests AND a lack of interactive skills.
