HOMER: Marge, try to understand. There are two kinds of college students - jocks and nerds. As a jock, it is my duty to give nerds a hard time. Hey, did you get a load of the nerd?

MUSCULAR COLLEGE STUDENT: Pardon me?

or

WOLFCASTLE: My son returns from a fancy east-coast college, and I'm horrified to find, he's a nerd.

BROCKMAN: I'm laughing already!

WOLFCASTLE: It's not a comedy..

Nerd is a derogatory term and I don't know why anyone would want to be called a nerd. It means you have anti-social tendancies which isn't generally desirable. Being smart doesn't make you a nerd. Being a nerd makes you a nerd.

I too was a nerd in high school. I was also called weird by some. It was a social stigma in my particular high school, but I did pretty well with women that didn't go to my high school. I think it really depends on the where and when as to how important it is. My wife calls me a nerd now but in a good way.

if i was a nerd then yeah. it's just the same as being called a jock, or a prep, or ghetto, or punk. it's just a label, it's up to you whether you find it offensive or not.

He jetted.

But I mos def think being called a nerd or classifying yourself as a nerd is not a good thing. It's an insult. But you can be a geek or a phreak or a hacker or just a jackass!!! Who cares, it's all what you make of it. I can be really geeky but I realize this so it's all good.

Why do you care what other people think??? Rhetorical question. Knowledge is power. Be as nerdy as you wanna be, bro!! Or be a geek, or a good guy, or a dumbass, or an asshole. It all seems so silly in the long run

I appreciate it when people call me a nerd and always have. We'll be the people making all the money because we actually have the drive to do something with ourselves.

I am a huge fan of nerds, by any name: nerd, dork, geek, whatever... It's more fun to be a nerd, not having to worry about what anyone things, being happy in your own skin.
That's one of the things that attracted me to my boyfriend: he's a giant nerd, and he knows it, and I love it. I'm a nerd too, and proud of it. It's all about how you wear the "label".

I LOVE Being a nerdy geeky dorky person! Who wouldnt with a girlfriend like that

Its impossible to insult someone who doesnt give a rats ass what the majority of people think of you. I sure haven't for a loooong time, so Im all fine with whichever of those three you'd like to call me.

To me, they all just mean "Damn good looking smart person"

At least, thats my opinion

Don't know why it is, but I don't like being called a geek/nerd by non-geeks/non-nerds.
I think people who are slightly geek understand and apprecaites what it means to be a geek. But I found people who are completely non-geeky would use terms such as "geek" & "nerd" in a degradotory way.

LMAO too funny, man.

Geek seems to be cool now.

When i was in high school, 5 years ago, it was just becoming alomst-cool.

One day i remember, a friend casually and in fun called me a nerd in front of these other guys, who laughed AT me, rather that WITH us. I just smiled and said, "yeah well, i can leave campus whenever I want, have lunch wherever i want, and if I don't feel like going to my ONE academic class during the day, I can excuse myself at will."

I had the power of God at my school. Never seen a couple of people shut up so quick in your life.

haha we had the "Fifth Freedom" at our school too. Just earn the trust and respect from your teachers (by acing the tests and having good attendance) and all of a sudden the teachers don't care when you skip or leave school or leave the class room

I personaly prefer being called a geek. Nerds don't have social skills. No, i'm not saying that I've got great social skills, but I can have conversations about non-geeky things.

While I was at school, I developed a contempt and disgust for what I considered 'normal' humanity and society. I now realise that this was quite hypocritical, but I still get violent urges when I hear people say things like

'Fashion is very important to me'

or

'C'mon, when did anyone ever use Pythagoras' theorem in the real world?'

So I think I would have taken it as a compliment to be distinguished from the rest of humanity in any way at all.
