Nerd - is it such a bad thing?
-
Have heard today's kids telling "I am not a nerd". Two questions: (from your personal experience, and not from Internet resources, please): 1. When kids use this term, what exactly would they mean? 2. Is it so bad to be termed a nerd? Had never heard this term as a kid; I'm nearing 50.
Nerd or geek, who gives a fluff. Just don't go be getting yourself labelled a dweeb. :laugh:

Geeks are now considered to be cool. I am not sure about nerds, or the difference. A friend of the our family asked me to create a Minecraft Server for her son using his name; "Jacob's Minecraft Server". He was in primary school (10 year old) at the time and the server made his popularity rise.

Just look at the people who try to make fun of those nerds. Most of them are dumb enough that one could easily imagine them sitting on top of a tree with a banana in their hands. Ask the 'nerds' (which no doubt are present here) and they will tell you that they would never trade their intelligence against the 'normal' life of the other primates.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a fucking golf cart.

I know a person who has a user name as "nerdy(Her Name)" So I don't think that people mind being called as Nerd!

If you are at a dev conf with 100 other programmers/geeks, being called a nerd is usually a compliment. If you are in high school, and the girls in your class think you are a nerd, that's probably not such a good thing :-D

Most nerds or geeks I ever got to know were rockers, not rappers.

Strange how they changed their minds when the math exams were coming up.

I would rather be labeled a nerd/geek with my family, house, and nice cars, then a cool tough guy living out of the back of my pickup truck.
