Undernerds are a sub type of geek which are the quintessential stereotype of a nerd. They are the fat, sweaty and most likely discussing the lore of some show or role playing game. They usually like anime, dnd, Warhammer 40k, and can be found at your local hobby stores game night, and has anime sleeves for his Magic: The Gathering deck. They may sometimes have unkempt beards.
Undernerds are the stereotype that makes anyone that remotely enjoys sci-fi or fantasy hobbies ashamed to participate in them.

Person 2: "Nah, that place is filled with undernerds."
