"nerd" implies a high intelligence. Y'all are just naming different categories of incels.

Engineers who make ~150k with a very average family life with mediocre kids and an average at best wife who can’t really cook but spends thousands on tools that get used once a year for 50 rounds

As a civil engineer by education, mechanical engineers. I have seen my brother in law way too excited about a part he made. It was lost on me, but his friend also lost his mind over it.

‘Nerd’ sounds like a code word. Can we get a reading by a mod or would that be considered ‘nerdy’?

View Quote Soooo socks with slaps is really cool according to my 13 year old. But not as cool as socks with crocs. |

I was going to say engineers, but the particular engineers I am thinking of are all hams.

People who listen to Rush.
Two guys I worked with years ago got into an argument about who was better Rush or Journey. Journey guy said "Rush is rock for the math team and robotics club". Fucking hilarious and shut the argument down instantly. Lol |

Fucking hilarious and shut the argument down instantly. Lol View Quote I once heard Rush described as "cool the way D&D is cool". Which is true no matter how you stand on the level of cool either of those have. Tabletop gamers and Rush fans both are less nerdy than some types of engineers, and engineering students or math and hard science nerds. Tabletop gamers by definition have to interact with other humans. Rush fans do listen to popular music. Not that there's not massive overlap on that Venn diagram. Somewhere there's probably an xkcd comic that uses the apogee of that minute crescent that isn't overlapped as a way to practically explain the size of a Planck length. |

I have watched several crash and burn going against my suggestions because they inform everyone they are a PE. Never mind that this is the first job site they have been on and they are 23 YO. They know what to do. Those two letters have them covered. |

Guys who drive Miatas and scooters

The guys deep into anime, manga, furry and my little pony shit. The Hawaiian shirt or Happi coat with Japanese cartoons and a trilby hat is their uniform. Black dusters or trench coats too.

View Quote The thing about LARPing is that it’s mostly college kids and the girls will participate due to the costuming and dress up aspect. Rarely in the olden days (late 90s) did you see girls playing D&D or other tabletop games but the Vampire: The Masquerade LARP brought out the goth chicks. |

Best Buy had their Geek Squad (supposedly for helping folks with tech issues), so I'd say the general impression of Nerd vs Geek is pretty blurry, but I think Nerd/Geek vs Dork appears to be fairly common. |
