Someone who aspires to be a
dork or geek, but fails. While a
dork is funny and clever, and a geek is smart and computer savvy, a nerd who attempts to be a
dork ends up being annoying and when attempting to be a geek ends up being stupid. A nerd is a wannabe dork/geek.
"
Hey, Mr.
Geek, did you see that nerd? He was copying you, only doing a crappy job of doing so!"
"Yeah, I saw him, he was following that
dork around, telling him dumb jokes and pissing him off."
