Nerd
Someone who enjoys learning and obtaining new information in general for it's own sake, often without discrimination to different areas of knowledge. The key to recognizing a nerd is if they are completely indifferent to the application of what they learn; they are not inherently inclined to use or not to use the information.
Someone who is a nerd could also be a geek, who is passionate about highly specific interests, or a dork, who is a social outcast, but they do not have to be.

Nerd
A studious and smart person who gets made fun of by haters. Nerds are not necessarily the 1960's stereo type with bottle cap glasses, suspenders, button shirts with pens in a shirt pocket, ect. Some nerds are good looking, some are smart, and some are both. Nerds are academicly advanced. However, most nerds are still socially challenged. Nerds are loners. :)

nerd...nerd?
most people think of nerds as people who are smart and keep to themselves. in my opinion, there aren't really "nerds". they are called nerds because other people are jealous of them. i hate the word nerd. people can be smart and be normal they don't have to be nerds persay.........and i don't like nonsense definitions put on this dictionary, like the defintion of was. instead of nerds, smart people should be called what they are, smart people who are just like that.
Example:
person 1- hey nerd. i heard you got all those a's down.
person 2- nerd...nerd? why are you calling me a nerd? at least i get a's and not f's!!
the person isn't a nerd, although it's better to get a's and not f's. duh.
