nerdfish 

Also known as nerd fish, nerd-fish,nerdfish etc.

A term originally coined in the early 1950's, and used predominantly amongst adolescent boys to describe fellow classmates. The term has homoerotic connotations, since to call someone a nerd fish(or any of its derivatives) implies a desire to copulate with them, due to a build up of sexual frustration.

Nerdfish was discontinued in the late 60's, as a result of children and adults alike finding the term lacking in what is today known as 'street-cred' , due to it's inherently negative connotations, and lack of versatility - in other words, it made nerds look bad, fish look bad, gay people look bad, and it was not easy to slip into a sentence.

The use of the word has since seen several attempts to revive it, but, due to it's lameness, it has thankfully not caught on. It is outlawed in the majority of the international community; Algeria in particular , where usage of the word is tantamount to burning the national flag and killing your family.

It is our responsibility as humans, to ensure that "nerdfish" and it's derivatives, do not sully the English language, for future generations.

Nerdfighter 

A nerdfighter is a person who is proud to be nerdy and intelligent, and who fights to decrease WorldSuck. Nerdfighters are not composed of cells and tissue, but instead made entirely of awesome. Nerdfighters are known to perform their Happy dances when they are joyful, and each Happy dance is unique to its respective Nerdfighter. Nerdfighters are diverse in their hobbies, which can range from writing Nerdfighter songs to playing D&D. Nerdfighters have also been described as someone who is "Outgoing, intelligent and awesome enough to accept nerd as a compliment". The polar opposite of a Nerdfighter is a Decepticon.

Nerdfighters 

A nerd who fights (against the decepticons -- also known as popular people).

One who is, instead of being made of organs and tissues and whatnot, made of awesome.

The word originated in John and Hank Green's video log projected, called vlogbrothers. While John was in an airport one day (curse those grey speckled walls), he saw a video game called Nerd Fighters.

Thus, the legacy of nerdfighting began.

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.
