No, that definition of a "nERD" is a little more severe than the common street translation hEre in the USA i think. Three are sEveral good traits to "nerds" in fact. Strange as it may seem, i'd chronichle the movie 'Revenge of the Nerds" to see that nerds, ironically , even though they have social adjustement issues and may not, as a whole, be the prettiest people on earth, are some of the nicest and smartest people around and also have genuine friends amongst those considerd "cool", but who are both cool and nice. Thats my take on Nerd> As for Dork..well, thats up to your own literal meaning.

no nerds but geeks Laugh Out Loud

blaster - 2009-02-08 20:17

well its funny in the 80s if you were a nerd you were considered a square...but nowadays its cool to be a nerd or a geek at something...but you got your limits...you know..lol

transamguy1977 - 2009-02-08 20:36

Not this boombox collector.
A little compulsive yes,
Nerdy No.

brick - 2009-02-09 21:50

I am a nerd .

jameswp67 - 2009-02-09 21:54

Sure I am. Can't nerds be cool? I thought it was hip to be square?

Boomboxes are the look everywhere.
Seen for example this reclam for a disco event:



And we should be happy to have a hobby together.
So many people can´t go wrong... Big Grin
