nerd

A person who goes to great lengths to describe the difference between a geek and a nerd to feel better about themselves, even though both terms refer to the same thing and regular people just pick any of the two interchangeably.

Normal Person 1: "That guy is a nerd"

Normal Person 2: "Oh yeah he's such a geek"

Geek/Nerd: "Actually, geek and nerd are different things. You see, nerds are socially awkward blah blah blah..." (Says this while raising his index finger)

Nerd

1. Often synonomus with 'geek' when not refering archaicly to a circus performer. A nerd is usualy secluded from mainstream society, intelligence is not as much of an issue as interests or converstional skills. Though it is possible that a nerd is isolated by choice, chosing to avoid those who do not share his or her interests or percieved intellectual ability.

2. An intelligent person shunned or merely chided because of his or her grades or aptitude at certain subjects. Definition 1 and 2 can be true of a person simultaneously.

3. Likely, due to poular media being considered 'nerdy' by those exceptionally low on the cognitive spectrum. Many self delcared 'nerds' roam the streats. With no social obstacles to overcome these are hardly the nerds they try to emulate and often lack even basic levels of nerdlike obsession. At best a more accurate word for these would be "quirky". At worst a definition would be "An unexceptional and socially active person with a passing interest in Video games, Marvel Superheroes, Harry Potter or Star Wars"

4. Anyone who openly admits to liking Manga or Anime. These are not always true nerds but are genrally considered as such.

5. Anyone who plays D&D. No exceptions.

1.
"Hey, did you play the Battlefield 3 beta?"
"No, I'm not really into videogames."
"Oh... Did you see the Alphas Season finale? Gary went all..."
"I don't really like science fiction... not my thing. did you see last nights game?"
"Sorry, I see no point in continuing this conversation."

2.
"I just built a working personal computer out of redstone in Minecraft! It's capable of running Linux or Windows!"
"$%^&ing nerd"

3.
"Yeah I've read every Harry potter book and seen each movie twice! I know, I'm such a nerd!"
"I have a polyresin replica of Harrys Nimbus 2000 on display next to my Alphonse Elric Armor."
"...That's wierd"

4.
"Hey, Want to watch some Fullmetal Alchemist after we get back from the triathlon?"
""$%^&ing nerd"

5.
"Want to spend hours in a basement playing an endless board game? It's like a video game with no graphics!"

nerd

a nerd is a socially inept, awkward loser not necessarily a smart person. he/she can be an idiot, a dull, insipid, square bunghole who doesn't know how to party. a geek is not a nerd, just someone who has exceptional qualities and who is bankable. a geek rules the world whearas nerds are totally faceless.

Bill Gates and Steve Jobs are computer geeks, whereas Richard Simmons is a faggish nerd.

Nerd

Nerds are people that come onto urbandictionary.com to write favorable, biased, definitions of themselves so they can raise their self esteem a little bit because they have no friends. You may find the nerds at your school getting picked on by the jocks or "popular group". They always try to convince themselves and other people that they will end up making more money than said jocks and "popular group", which is not necessarily true because jocks can sometimes, if they are good enough, make it to professional sports, and the "popular group' is usually rich to begin with and will take over the family business and will have nerds do the dirty work for them.

Nerd 1: "Hey, lets go add good things about nerds on urbandictionary.com and wikipedia.org so people can think we are cool!" *Does a snort laugh and pushes glasses up on his nose*

Nerd 1: "Wait, let me finish this game of Dungeons and Dragons first!" *Does a snort laugh and pushes glasses up on his nose*

nerd

nerds are often associated with geeks but there are big differences between them. Nerds are often less socially skilled because they are interested in things that are not popular in wide stream society and are mostly shut ins unless they start their own social "guild" of nerds. there are often too upsessed with awesome things like computers, games, ect. i am proud to say im not a nerd i'm a geek!

a comic once said "a geek would see a harry potter movie, but a nerd would go to see harry potter, dressed as Harry potter.

nerd

A nerd is someone who is smart in all subjects, yet focuses on one subject to be a specific interest. There is a difference between a nerd and a geek. A geek would is a wanna-be nerd and can be identified as having a weird accent, pants up to tight, huge glasses and usually not the best looking person around. A nerd, however, does not have to be bad looking and can be accepted by other groups because of his/her other hobbies, such as sports and music.

One other thing to note is that there is something called geek-chic (which is a misnomer as geeks have bad taste and should be called nerd-chic). This style includes carrying a sports-equipment looking bag, small framed glasses and casual clothing.

Boy 1: Winston is such a nerd.
Boy 2: I know, what girl would date him?

Girl 1: Wow, did you see Winston with this glasses today? He looks hot!
Girl 2: I know. You gonna ask him out?
Girl 1: For sure!
