nerdonym

--noun Grammar (NURD-uh-nim)

1. Any word whose proper pronunciation is unknown because the word has only been read, primarily in books. Such words are often tragically mispronounced, and may lay dormant for years until the correct pronunciation is heard in conversation.

Frequent usage of nerdonyms indicates excessive reading, likely of science-fiction and/or fantasy books.

Common examples:

• My first recorded nerdonym is "gazebo", which I originally thought was "GAYS-bo".

• What do you mean it's pronounced "GRAIN-ing"? I thought it was "Matt GRO-en-ing"!

• Person A: "I'm having a 'DIAL-mama'."
Person B: "A what?"
A: "A 'DIAL-mama'."
B: "Do you mean 'dilemma'?"
A: I thought it was...
B: ...it's 'DILL-emma", dude. You just had a nerdonym.

• "He's a great OH-raider. What? I just discovered a nerdonym, didn't I?"

nerdbot

A nerdbot is derived from two words. "nerd" and "bot". When these two words are put together, they form the compound word "nerdbot". What a nerdbot essentially is, is a person with no life and plays counter-strike 24/7, only stopping for food and occasional sleep. A person who is a nerdbot knows every L337 word in the L337 dictionary and even speaks "L337" in real life situations. A nerdbot also relates every real life situation to counter-strike. Nerdbots tend to stick together, so despite what people say, they do have friends.

"oh em gee, I hacked my teacher's exam." -nerdbot
"I sped hacked home to play cs guys!" -nerdbot
"WOW this guy is UB3R gay, he headshotted me with a dodgeball! A1Mb0t@!1"
