gover-nerds 

Students who live in Governors Dorm at the University at Buffalo. Mostly they live in Roosevelt, and are freshman. So called because it is the honors dorm and full of smart kids. Mostly they love studying, video games (Smash Brothers and Halo), reading, not partying, and they don't normally like the opposite sex. They don't party have high GPAS take honors classes and are usually thought of as "Dorks". However their are some normal kids in governors, but few and far between

"Hey you want to go out and drink beer and chase tail? I know some sick parties!"
gover-nerds:"No i cant, i have to study and read ancient Chinese poetry, then play halo for 6 hours."

governerd 

A Governerd is a student of US government and democracy with a passion for non-partisan, fact-based learning. Governerds are critical thinkers who engage in open-minded and respectful discussion. They actively listen to understand, are open to diverse views, and seek deeper knowledge about legislative, executive, and judicial matters as well as the Constitution.

Governerds are looking for truth and peace in a political climate that is often fraught with lies and divisive rhetoric. A governerd is committed to facts, not feelings. Governerds are always respectful and kind as they seek to find answers to hard questions. They practice recognizing bias and how to come together to find common ground. They care deeply for fellow citizens, are dedicated to helping others, and collectively turn their pennies into miracles.

Governerds also share an appreciation of whale facts, bald eagles, poorly curated clothing subscription boxes, the Great Lakes, and procrastination chickens.

Governerds originated as students of America's Government Teacher, Sharon McMahon

1) "In Sharon McMahon's latest Government for Grownups lecture about landmark Supreme Court Cases, her fellow Governerds engaged in respectful discussion in order to listen, learn, and better understand the Court's rulings."
2) "As a Governerd, I'm committed to facts, not feelings."
3) "Any Governerd will tell you: Facts do not require your approval."

governerd 

A nerd of a particular variety: one that is well versed in politics and government. They find great joy in watching the news, hearing debates and knowing about local government leaders and foreign policies.

Angela is SUCH a governerd, she just told me "Today the new congress is getting sworn in! I am so excited!"

Governerd 

One who lives in Governors Hall at the University At Buffalo. More specifically, Roosevelt Hall, the Honors Freshman Residence Hall. This building is populated by some of the smartest Undergraduate Students at SUNY Buffalo and is one of the best communities to live in on campus.

Proud to be a governerd! #governerds4life

A state executive lacking charisma, character, and any shot at national office.

Scott Walker is Wisconsin's governerd; Tim Pawlenty used to be Minnesota's.
