A constantly growing type of "hybrid" social class that you may find in every middle class and/or upper class highschool. They look like your average jock, yet they have the intellect of a nerd. Most nerdjock organisms haven't inherited the "lame obsessions" deformity gene (Trekkie Disorder, Magic Card Syndrome, Anime-ism, World-of-Warcraft-itis,etc.) commonly found in most nerds, but still play agressive sports (football, hockey, wrestling, baseball, basketball, etc.). These "hybrid" creatures are known to be very outgoing and popular with a governing class of commonly related species known as the "cool kids". The nerdjock revelution has just begun and shall be seen if this species can survive in the real world after graduation.

Nerdjock hybrid: I got an A+ too, bro! Just like football, always tackle your biggest fears and become the victor.

Pure Nerd: Hey! You are a jock! You are supposed to get an F+.

Nerdjock: No, I'm a nerdjock!

Nerd jock 

Unlike what other definitions here are saying, nerdjocks don't necessarily need to be neither smarter than their peers nor physically superior. A nerdjock is simply someone who is both a nerd and a jock - that is obsessed with both nerdy topics like school, maths, comics, etc and physical activities like gym, running, football, rugby, etc.

Also contrary to what the other answers have you believe, a lot of nerdjocks actually struggle to fit in in any social group not only because they feel out of place in both nerd and jock groups, but also because a lot of them are just plain odd.
Jock: hey, you know John? Apparently he hangs out with some nerds, eugh, let's leave him to his business with the nerds!
Nerds: hey, you know John? Apparently he is just a jock only hanging out with us to feel smarter about himself. Let's leave him to his business with the jocks!
John, the nerd jock:🤷 ♂️
A person of high intelligence or great knowledge of topics no one else cares about, usually with low social skills, but also has physical ability.

murderhobo 

In a tabletop game, a murderhobo is a player who murders NPCs indiscriminately. This is normally derogatory, referring to a player who totally ignores quests, dialog, backstory, trade, world building etc.

In sales terms, a whale is a prospect that is significantly larger than an organization’s average customer.

Whales are large and extremely difficult to close. Due to their immense size, they are highly sought-after.

A whale is typically identified at first by a whale hunter on the sales team, but often requires cross-discipline participation in order to close; this includes assistance from operations, engineering, creative, client success, and business development teams.
"Shit...the sales director chewed me out on the sales call this morning. He's totally pissed that I have nothing in my pipeline. I've been focused on this one whale for so long that I haven't had time to prospect for normal-sized deals."
