Are you a nerd?

[danne89]

Are you a nerd?
The definition from wikipedia:
Traditionally, a nerd is a very intelligent but lonely and socially awkward person who is fascinated by knowledge, especially science. Beginning in the late 1990s, many nerds on the Internet reclaimed the word nerd as a badge of pride, and began using it as a positive description of any technically competent person, with less implication or focus on social awkwardness. There is currently an ongoing dispute as to whether nerd and geek are synonymous, or if not, as to exactly how they differ.

I think I am a nerd. But I actually have some friends.

[dextercioby]

Never been,never will.But sure,when i'm alone,if i'm not working,i'm sleeping.Do nerds sleep as much as i am...?:eek:

Daniel.

P.S.I don't match this one:"(a nerd is a) very intelligent,..."

[Gokul43201]

I think I'm a nerd. I read Slashdot, which claims to be news for nerds. But I know my advisor is a nerd for sure...he made the news (http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/02/19/1916217&tid=222&tid=159&tid=1), for building a coffee bean roaster out of a vintage, '70s popcorn popper, a pair of thermocouples, variacs, 6-digit HP voltmeters and an old DOS computer, running an algorithm that he'd written up for the temperature control.

I've never seen caffeine dependence listed as a criterion for nerditude (or is it geekiness?) - that's just wrong.

Im not a nerd in the sense that i am very intelligent, because im not. But the highlighted part would be true to me, as (i think) Im getting into a deeper and deeper state of despair to say that i have abandoned all of my 'friends'

[danne89]

Bit this if you can. (No it isn't me)

Ditto. :shy:

[mattmns]

I am slowly trying to become a nerd: I would say that I am an apprentice to a nerd.

[DeadWolfe]

I consider myself more of an intellectual hippy

[abhishek]

I think I am. Whether I qualify with the intelligence criteria is debatable; I certainly fit the rest of the description. I identify more readily with 'geek' than 'nerd'. :blushing:

[Clausius2]

I think I am a Candidate in Philosophy (C.Phil.) in being nerd. Soon I will obtain the Ph.D. in being nerd and I will have completed the process of transforming myself in such an akward guy.

To Daniel I'd say that the process of transformation is unavoidable, wait some time and you'll cross to the dark side with me and those thousands....

[brewnog]

I never have been, and never will be a nerd.

I'm a geek!

I am not a nerd but I am 26.82446% geek!

[Andromeda321]

Never thought of myself as a nerd because nerds have negative connotations associated with them. I instead think of myself as a Renissance Woman.

Ummm....so you marry at 14, are subservient to men, and look like the virgin mary?

Ack, 42.20907% Geekyness, which makes me a Major Geek. It seems to have gotten higher in the past few years...

[polyb]

I'm just another freak in the freakdom looking for kicks! :biggrin:

[Andromeda321]

franznietzsche- no, not quite. :wink:
The term "Renissance Man" refers to someone who's like da Vinci who has interests accross the board: great at science, great at art, etc. A nerd, on the other hand, specializes more in only one direction.
And of course I had to change "Man" to "Woman" for obvious reasons. o:)

Gah! Stop perverting the english language.

1. It's spelled Renaissance

2. DaVinci was a "Renaissance Man", because he was a man during the Renaissance (it's really that simple), in fact you could even attribute him with starting the bloody movement.

3. You can't just add 'Wo' to anything you want and completely change the meaning for your own petty comments. Bah!

[Moonbear]

Well, it seems easier than adding those other things necessary to use the term "man." :biggrin: This coming from a guy who goes to school in dresses...you should know better! :tongue2:

[Math Is Hard]

ouch! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Andromeda321]

Apologies for the misspelling. I have heard the term refer to people who are talented in many areas before, however, and it sounds more poetic then "jack of all trades" or some such.
And it's not meant as a feminism thing or anything though, I stole the term from my high school yearbook's theme actually, and I am what I am, so... *shrug*

[Smurf]

20.11834%... Geek!
Wow, I'm shocked that I actually beat someone.
That test was hilarious

[Physics_wiz]

Ok, I gotta say this. You're a geek if you actually took this whole test...it's got like what? 20k questions?

[dextercioby]

Why wouldn't take the whole test,even with 200 questions...?Would you risk severe damage to nerve cells...?:wink:

Daniel.

[BobG]

I'm a nerd, for sure. In fact, I think the best thing about being a parent is that being a nerd was suddenly an asset. Parents are supposed to be nerds. :approve:

Or maybe I'm just a hick with above average intelligence. Or maybe being a hick with above average intelligence led me down the path to nerd-dom, since being a nerd is lots better than being a hick. :frown:

There's a huge difference between nerds and geeks. Nerds take showers, for one thing. Geeks bite the heads off of live chickens, for another. :yuck:

[Moonbear]

There's a huge difference between nerds and geeks. Nerds take showers, for one thing. Geeks bite the heads off of live chickens, for another. :yuck:

Hmmm...I suspect there's a difference in meaning depending on where you live. I would have said it's nerds who don't shower and geeks who do. As for biting heads off chickens, I leave that to the lead singers of Metal bands, who are neither geeks nor nerds, they're just strange.

[Norman]

MMMMMM.... live chicken heads...

Well, MY meaning is backed by Merriam-Webster's. How about yours? :rofl: (I needed 10 characters, not including the quotes - but it didn't say what base, so I decided to play it safe).

Main Entry: geek
Pronunciation: 'gEk
Function: noun
Etymology: probably from English dialect geek, geck fool, from Low German geck, from Middle Low German
1 : a carnival performer often billed as a wild man whose act usually includes biting the head off a live chicken or snake

[Math Is Hard]

Bob G is correct. Carnival geeks are famed for that particular heinous act. :yuck:

I am so definetly a nerd, in my own special way. I was like pseudo popular in school, at least, i had pleanty of friends, and i knew about my whole class and they knew me. But i decided that i'd rather hang in the library and read feynman lectures or try to understand quantum theory. I also really enjoyed "the beauty of math" sorta books... but either way, i became totally awkward and caught up in intellectual pursuit, the sheer definition of a nerd. Go me

Same here... but I am not even psuedo-popular... hardly have any friends (only 1 or 2) and I hardly know the names of half of the people in my class, and the ones I do know I shrug off. As for the libraries and QT thing, yeah I do a lot of that :biggrin:. Its gotten to the point where intellectual pursuit is all that I do in my spare time, at least the stuff that I can figure out from the college textbooks at the local university.

It sucks that there aren't more people who have the same mindset as my own, it gets real lonely sometimes. Even my classmates who are also in the top of the class aren't much for conversation, anything I bring up intellectually doesn't work, and it seems like most of their conversations are extremely banal and lacking direction. For instance, whenever I try to elaborate by bringing up calculus, physics, or humor of both, I get a lackluster and unsatisfactory response. I usually end up eating lunch alone or without saying a word.

I opt for being a geek. Do I really have to bite the heads off chickens though, or can I just cut their heads off? I guess the vegetarians have to be nerds. :biggrin:

I liked Entropy's idea. I want to be a pirate! That's way more fun than being a geek or a nerd.

Im not a trekkie ina anyway shape or form. Thats my problem.

[Artman]

Im not a trekkie ina anyway shape or form. Thats my problem.Actually, I'm not either. I do own all of the Star Trek Movies, but I never watched the TV show. The only one of the movies I like is the 4th one where they come back to earth to save the whales. I like that one because they spend half the movie poking fun at themselves.

I am really more of a geek then the test can show because of other reasons, things like owning 5 telescopes, 4 of which I built myself; building my own microscope; reading the encyclopedia for fun; reading other reference books more frequently than I read novels; etc.

[Smurf]

In one of my english classes the teacher made us do "Silent Reading" time (pretty sad eh? this was a few years ago), anyways when everyone else was reading what I call 'redneck lit' I brought in a textbook on international relations and read that. Doesn't that bump me up a bit?

Our school has a mandatory SSS (Sustained Silent Reading) that is supposed to occur, it was strictly enforced in one of my classes and loosely in another. Most other people read novels or leafing through magazines, but I either had a physics book (2nd Edition Hausmann, Slack), or my Calculus or government book.

[Math Is Hard]

I've noticed that it's really fun to say YAARRRH! You have to try it sometime when you're alone in your car - just let out a good YAARRH! as loud as you can and really mean it - guarantee you'll laugh hysterically and feel better after you do it.

Oh, it really is fun! Last summer, I went on a weekend trip to an amusement park with several friends. Two went off to get dinner and came back from a Long John Silver's (I think) fast food place with some paper pirate hats...we all had fun wearing pirate hats and saying Yaaarrrh! Of course, most of us had started drinking while they were pillaging for food, so that might have had something to do with how fun it was.

[Moonbear]

Smurf, the thread hasn't gone off topic, the thread has "evolved". It's gone from "nerd" to "pirate nerd". It's all good. :approve:

We can merge the themes, even between threads...one way to get bullies to stop picking on you (something commonly suffered by nerds) is to suddenly start sporting a hook, an eye patch, and shouting YAAARRRHHH! They'll be too afraid to pick on you thinking you've truly gone nuts. :rofl:

[Astronuc]

Smurf, the thread hasn't gone off topic, the thread has "evolved". More like "morphed"!

Moonbear has a good point, although why stop at a hook - go all the way and carry a cutlass and pistol. But then the 'nerd pirate' is responsible for complying with local laws concerning weapons.

[Artman]

YAaaarrrr, I won't be lettin' Astronuc kill the nerd/pirate thread. 'E did't even make it walk thar plank, RRRrrrrrrrrraghhhh. I'll be takin' this thread from ye and hoistin' it back up the PF Yardarm. RrRRRRrrrrrraggghhhhh.

Oh,and i suck at basketball. :yuck:Not me. I was 6'-0" tall in High school and pretty good at basketball. That was one of the few things that kept me from being a total nerd in school.

Yeah it says that you've been doing the computer equivalent of having sex without a condom in a third world country with AIDS rates of greater than 50%.

I wouldn't be surprised to find out someone has completel access to your system by now.

A recent study showed that within an hour a system running XP SP1 was completely runnning under remote control and was being used to attack other systems, and had been subjected to over 4,000 seperate attacks, and stopped almost none of them. All in a single hour of being online.

I don't have time to take the test or even read past the first couple of pages in here. Will do so when I get home from work. Meanwhile, I submit that the term 'nerd' was invented by the writers of the 'Happy Days' show because you weren't allowed to say 's**t-head' on TV. (Nor here, apparently. :biggrin: ) At least, I certainly never heard it before that. Anyone else?

We have a pretty nerdy TV set up going here. Due to the fact that we only have one spot to get the southern shot needed, the Direct TV antenna feeds parallel outputs several hundred feet to my office. From there, one signal is re-xmitted up to the house on five of the ten, 500 foot runs of twisted pairs of CAT5 connecting my office to the house. From there, the remote control is transmitted from the house down to my office to control the DTV receiver. I also have two phone lines, and now I want to network our computers. So, since I've used up all ten pairs, I need to put in another 500 run of CAT5. :grumpy: I really thought that ten pairs would do it, but I never saw the DTV thing coming. Of course we may not be here long enough to worry about it.

Every pirate lives for something different. For some, it's the open sea. For others (the masochists), it's the food. For you, it's definitely the fighting. You can be a little bit unpredictable, but a pirate's life is far from full of certainties, so that fits in pretty well. Arr!

[Smasherman]

I'm not going to read this entire thread: no time.

I'm pretty sure I'm a geek or nerd because: a) Everyone thinks I'm smart, even if I try to send the opposite message. b) I'm very adept at computers. c) Grammar errors make me flinch (I'm joking.. mostly). d) I spend a lot of time creating mental constructs.

Also, looks matter a lot to people, just so ya know. Almost everyone who sees me thinks I'm a stoner, even though I actually avoid all drugs and getting drunk. Stoners are usually mellow people to hang out with, though (as long as they're not [explicit deleted] who try and use peer pressure against me).

A pirate's life isn't easy; it takes a tough person. That's okay with you, though, since you're a tough person. You can be a little bit unpredictable, but a pirate's life is far from full of certainties, so that fits in pretty well. Arr!
