A word originally coined by [[Dr Seuss]] (king nerd himself), meaning someone who is smart. It is now usually used to desribe someone with more knowledge about [[computer]]s than the average [[schmuck]]. Note, there IS a difference between a geek and a nerd. [[Geek]]'s wish they were as good as nerd's, but at the end of they day, they are just second rate try-hard Nerds.
NERD - A term coined in the 1980s to describe intelligent but socially inept people. The term is often associated with [[Bill Gates]]. It has fallen out of favor somewhat, replaced by geek as a more up-to-date term for computer fanatics.
