Get the NERD mug.A nerd is NOT required to be socially awkward OR ugly. Ugly or socially awkward people are geeks, dorks, or dweebs. If your definition falls under any of that, leave this right now.
A nerd is a person who has a high level of intelligence and puts most of it toward schoolwork. Usually nerds group together in clans of 5-10 and have fun.
Nerds do NOT follow society's trends.
Nerds fall into different categories:
Gamer - Someone who puts most, if not all, of their time into playing video games and learning all there is to know about them. Usually they start off early in life, playing stuff like Mario, then they play more games in that series, eventually moving up to all genres, including shooter, platformer, and RPG. They can be found in large groups at conventions such as MAGFest and Pax East.
Internet nerd - Internet nerds usually develop to be gamers, spending a lot of time on websites to kill time and listen to music. They generally know programming and how to fix their own computer. They tend to go to places like Memebase, being able to reference things that no one really knows, making it awkward when they do.
Bookworm - This nerd spends a LOT of time reading. More than likely they're team Harry Potter. They sometimes obsess over books, buying costumes for the characters and going to all the midnight premieres. Some are so bent on reading all the time that they've had books confiscated in class.

Get the Nerd mug.A boy or girl in the adolescent stage where their IQ is high and their social level low. They often refuse to conform, have many geek friends and are strong in numbers (beware!)
They are very underappreciated and are the leading buyers of pocket protectors nationwide.

Get the Nerd mug.A person who fills the sterotypes generally surrounding one knowledgeable about computers (considers video games a way of life, watches sci-fi etc.) but does not necessarily have that knowledge. A nerd is always a social reject. The term nerd differs from geek in that a geek has knowledge regarding computing or other cutting edge technology, but is not necessarily a social reject. A geek may prefer to communicate over the internet (not making them a social reject - infact they often have more contact with their friends than other groups), while a nerd has difficulty in forming any friends or communicating in a social way atall. Geeks are often (unfairly) confused with nerds.
If you feel nerds are in some way better than geeks just think: how many people have you heard admitting to being a geek? now compare this to the number of people declaring themselves nerds.
Oh - I agree that yes, Mr. Gates is a nerd. Have any or you promoting nerds ever heard of an operating system called 'Linux'? I think you'll find its generally more reliable, secure and controllable than windows - particularly the more recent versions (2K and XP). It does however require a higher degree of intellect to operate successfully than windows, which I feel furthers my point.
There is such a thing as an aspiring geek, who, though lacking the intellectual prowess of geeks in general, realise that there is more to computers than writing word documents and playing games. Often these aspiring geeks will develop into a full geek.

'I'm a geek' - said with pride
'He's a nerd' - used in an insulting manner
'I'm a nerd' - when have you ever heard this used?!
