I'm just a big old nerd.
I am not a genius. But I am nerdy.
Charlie had Sophie strapped to his chest like a terrorist baby bomb when he came down the back steps. She had just gotten to the point where she could hold up her head, so he had strapped her in face-out so she could look around. The way her arms and legs waved around as Charlie walked, she looked as if she was skydiving and using a skinny nerd as a parachute.
I'm a nerd. I'm a little guy... the last guy you'd expect in a romantic movie.
As a comedy nerd, I get a lot out of the podcast because I'm genuinely interested in the people I'm talking to.
Comic-Con is interesting because there's so much going on at once, it's literally impossible to do everything. You need clones and some sort of hoverboard so you can surf over the crowd of packed-in nerds.

There's a lot of money being generated by nerds right now. Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, the list goes on and on. Nerds make more money than our government. And with money comes power.
Nerdists, unlike nerds, tend to be creators as much as consumers. They're creative consumers.
In the '90s, you couldn't say the word 'nerd' to someone when pitching a show. They would have considered that too niche and wouldn't have listened.
Traditionally nerd-based culture is now a big sector of pop culture.
I do find some of the meanest, most exclusionary people are the nerds. And they rebel against other nerds! What are you doing? As much as I love nerds and the nerd movement, the nerd-on-nerd violence is really bad. A lot of times, nerds are the meanest ones online. And also, the trolling can be very extensive because they're smart.
Like lycanthropy, the nerd gene can skip a generation. My maternal grandfather was a technophile.

I grew up a nerd and now I'm a geek? I don't know.
