Garrulous Glaahk Brainless Void Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 How do you know if you are a nerd or not? Is there a nerd-o-meter out there or something? Also, are there different levels of being nerd? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unflappable Drayk ĐªгŦĦ Єяŋϊε Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Deep subject I believe the general rule is that if you are wondering if you're a nerd......then you are one, just looking for an excuse not to be called one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seasoned Roamer gem helper Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 so Faceless Void is a Nerd? LOL carries are nerds by definition. as someone who is inherently buff and strong despite having almost no money, i enjoy being a feckless nerd who thinks she's real tough hiding behind a vlads and bkb. like a little vacation from being cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrulous Glaahk Level 1 Hermit Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 By definition a foolish or contemptible person who lacks social skills or is boringly studious. or a single-minded expert in a particular technical field. There's probably a quiz online that tells how nerdy a person is. Good look figuring out if you're a nerd or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 The real question is whether you're more geek or nerd, I feel, and what the difference is between the two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 For some a geek has a more negative connotation because it was a term for the guy at a carnival that bit the heads off chickens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Jerakeen Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 By definition a foolish or contemptible person who lacks social skills or is boringly studious. or a single-minded expert in a particular technical field. That... is a terrible definition. Which reminds me that dictionaries are terrible places to look if you want to know what a word means now.

Understated Ur-Drakon The Almighty Doer of Stuff Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 For some a geek has a more negative connotation because it was a term for the guy at a carnival that bit the heads off chickens. I forget where specifically I learned this, probably Oddities on the Science Channel, but I believe this is a misconception. In sideshow/carnival/circus speak, a freak is someone who has a naturally shocking attribute such as someone with a deformity or who cannot feel pain, and a geek is someone who learned[//i] to do something shocking such as biting off chicken heads, eating light bulbs, doing something painful without flinching, bizarre body modification, etc. "Nerd", I think, is not actually a sideshow term at all.

Burgeoning Battle Gamma Rya.Reisender Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 It's pretty easy to differentiate between nerd and geek because geeks wear their shirts above their pants while nerds put them inside their pants.

Unflappable Drayk Radix Malorum Est Cupiditas Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 That... is a terrible definition. Which reminds me that dictionaries are terrible places to look if you want to know what a word means now. I agree up to a point. if you're looking for a technical definition (eg, a piece of academic or scientific jargon), then dictionaries, preferably of the field in question, are the perfect place to look for a definition. The provided definitions do tend to be unhelpful at best and clear as mud, but really, what else would you expect in such a case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fledgling Fyora BlackQueen Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Nerd is nerd. Or, are there different levels? Should there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Jerakeen Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Nerd is nerd. Or, are there different levels? Should there? I myself am a level 3 nerd. I would have been 4, but I took a level of Cat Lady. A less presumptuous name., Sudanna, Tyranicus and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
