being a nerd doesn't mean you are a spaz -- it simply means you're super-passionate about something. sports nerd, history nerd, jazz nerd, cattle nerd. it's like... something that you know the details of, the stuff other people wouldn't know, and when the topic comes up, you feel pretty superiour. for example, i am a nerd about lake canoeing. not river canoeing. not kayaking of any type. Lake. Canoeing. i could teach you a ton about lake canoeing, but i would prefer to mock you for holding your paddle incorrectly.
