That being said, if you merely want to see what people think of when they think of the word "nerd", because human thought processes, societal constructs, and philosophy are so interesting, consider yourself a nerd.

Nerd is only a label. It doesn't matter whether you are one or are not one. Nobody cares either way, and you should not, either.

Get the King Nerd mug.A pissed-off, geeky video game enthusiast who hosts his own series of game reviews on YouTube, ScrewAttack.com and GameTrailers.com. Formerly known as the Angry Nintendo Nerd, he reviews some of the most godawful games ever made (usually games on the NES) in an over-the-top manner. He is known for his New Jersey accent, his heavy drinking (usually drinks Rolling Rock and Yuengling beer) and his filthy mouth. The Nerd uses ridiculous amounts of profanity in his videos, to the point where he makes up his own words ("fuckfarts", "fuckballs"), and sums up the games with phrases such as "What a shitload of fuck," or "It sucks monkey fuck!!!!!" Usually he also describes some horrific thing he would rather do than play the games, such as "drink diarrhea vomited out of a buffalo's anus", in order to let the viewer know just how bad the game is. Some of the games/systems/accessories are destroyed in a comical manner (flushed down the toilet, stuck in the toaster, etc.) after he is done reviewing them. The series also sometimes has "special guests" such as Jason Voorhees, Freddy Krueger, Spider-Man, Bugs Bunny, Michael Myers and Leatherface, most of whom have the living shit beaten out of them by the Nerd. Some examples of games that the Nerd has reviewed are:
Castlevania II: Simon's Quest (NES)
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (NES)
The Karate Kid (NES)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (NES)
Back To The Future (NES)
Top Gun (NES)
