This One's For The Nerds...

[Erinome]

Omg I can only stand the stench of a geek for so long.. dorks are okay, but they could smell better too. Dweebs are helplessly ugly, but mostly sweet people.

ok so that begs the question for you ladies to identify the distinction in category for each of the nerd, geek, dweeb, dork, etc. phyla

Nerd is a derogatory slang term for a person typically described as intellectual, socially-impaired, and obsessive who spends inordinate amounts of time on unpopular [pursuits], obscure, or highly technical pursuits, or relating to topics of fiction or fantasy, to the exclusion of more mainstream activities. Nerds are considered to be awkward, shy, and unattractive. Thus, a nerd is often excluded from physical activity and considered a loner by others, or will tend to associate with a small group of like-minded people. As with other pejoratives, nerd has been reappropriated by some as a term of pride and group identity.

I highlighted a few things from Wikipedia on the definition of nerd which correspond with my own personality. So, I guess that makes me somewhat of a nerd. Maybe with a nerd rating of 3/10.

And it's 4:00 am right now and I'm still on the computer looking at weird and random things.

I LOVE nerds.



Nobody posted this sooner... does this mean *I* am a nerd?

* Violet knows she is not a nerd, that was not a real question, it was more like how a dolphin isn't a real fish. And more about scotsmen in the next broadcast.

I've been accused of being a nerd and a geek. But I shower every day. And when asked of my room-mates their opinion, I do not smell bad or off. I smell neutral. And I've also been accused of being "at least attractive" on many occasions [is at least trying to show humility here...]. But I spend most of my time playing video games, writing, on the internet, cooking, or watching documentaries. I FIT ALL THE CATEGORIES. AAAALLLL THE CATEGORIES. And yet none of them.

I've also been accused of being a goth but I can't afford the clothing anymore. XD

Yeah, I've been accused of complete nerd-dom...I shower every morning, wear black rimmed glasses, read constantly, have nerd-gasms about plants and various other things, have read way too much EU Star Wars and know just a smidge too much about Lord of the Rings and various other things. I don't play video games, but the obsessiveness comes out in other ways. But I try to maintain a bit of fashion and style.

Face it - the old 80's idea of nerdy people doesn't apply anymore. Nerds are cool.
