a person of high intelligence or drive at a certain hobby. Stereotypes portray them as:
-ugly
-wearing glasses
-bad sense of fashion
-allergic to almost everything
-scrawny
-computer loving
ect.
The inconvienent truth for jocks about these Stereotypes is that only 10% of the geek and/or nerd population even has many of the traits listed above

"If you don't like the alpha men, what kind of guy do you like?"
"See the guy in the glasses with the book?"
"Yeah."
"That would be my type."
"That's a nerd."
"Exactly."

A highly intelligent person, whose "nerdiness" is not necessarily restricted to one certain area of interest, but someone who has many varied interests and a vast amount of knowledge for all of them. Nerds are constantly learning and love to acquire new knowledge. Also, nerds do not announce to other people that they are nerds. This is something wanna-be nerds do, so if a person mentions a show they fanatically watch or a video game they play 24/7 and then gush "I'm such a nerd!", that person is actually a poser, does not deserve the esteemed title of Nerd, and most likely should be punched in the face. Just because being a real nerd is now cool, does not mean that you are.
Girl who has no idea what the capital of Minnesota is: Oh my god, I looooove Skyrim, I'm such a nerd!
Girl who knows all the countries, states, provinces and capitals of the world: I beg to differ. Excuse me while I go read War and Peace.

Someone with above average intelligence, or as Dr. Frink of the Simpson's says:

It has been proposed by someone using this dictionary that a nerd is simply a lesser geek; for example, one who is very brainy, but without social skills (which a geek, apparently, would possess). I submit for contemplation the definitions of both nerd and geek as I have always understood them--a nerd is a very brainy, generally socially inept person who leans toward bookish pursuits, such as the reading and analysis of, well, 18th century books, while a geek is much the same, but with an affinity for technology/computers. Either may enjoy anime, comic books, the Internet, and/or the company of other nerds/geeks (among many other interesting and engaging pastimes).
Amanda is such a nerd. She's always reading her English literature textbook for fun.
Julie is such a geek. She's always fiddling with her computer.

A nerd, in simple definition, is a person with poor social skills who is very intelligent and creative. Although the word "Nerd" has only been recently used, the species has been around for centuries.
They are persecuted because of their "social deficiency" and intelligence. However, true nerds do not care about this, since they have their own sense of what is cool.
They tend to be loners and egotistical people who embed themselves in things such as computer skills, art, music, books, plays etc to make up for their lack of status.
Although a nerd may have a few non-nerd associates, the nerd's only true friends will be other nerds; and additionally, nerds have only been known to mate with their own species.
The natural enemy of the nerd is the goth
