Ok so, for my next essay in english were doing a qualitative research report. and so theres this survey about a word I'm suppose to give to 15-25 people, but more is welcome. My hope here is that I get my stuff, but that this also sparks some good discussion about stuff. you can either PM me your response or put it in the thread, but please mark/spoiler it so I know its there. Ok heres the official part:
Hello! My name is Bucketman, and I am gathering information for an English 102 course project. My professor, Dr.Amanda Laudig, would like us to ask people to fill out questionnaires for us so that we might learn how to gather and analyze data. I would appreciate your taking a few minuets to fill out my questionnaire. Your responses can be completely anonymous and will be employed only in the project that I write for class. Thank you for your time. Dongs.
Thanks in advance guys. My professor is really interested in internet interactions between people so she specifically asked me to do this either on Facebook or via a forum, and I figured I could get much better discussion going here.

Somebody who is smart but who is also weird or weak or unpleasant or lacking in social skills or undesirable in some other way. I demand you reference Milhouse somewhere in your paper.
I guess "geek" is generally considered basically the same thing these days?

NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERD!
I'll admit I called that filthy nerd who stole my microscope a nerd, and to go back to Sweden. I was angry, it was a slipup.
Many times? I'm pretty nerdy?
My sister used to call me a nerd a lot but I don't think she knew what it meant because she was 6
Well that would depend on the context wouldn't it
This is a silly question
Well it was in this thread a lot
Also now it has no meaning to me

A nerd is a person who can appreciate a fiberglass replica of a sword from their favorite anime

John is LARPing this weekend? John's a nerd.
When something is just irreparably far gone, to the point where their fake universe is somehow preferable to one that exists, the word Nerd comes to mind.
Sometimes I myself would like to live in some fantasy land.
I post on a forum for a webcomic about videogames, and people know who I am.
It would be an insult in their minds, but the term gains nothing but apathy from me.
Condescending and egotistical people, or "nerds" themselves.
16 year old male, I took this questionnaire on the webcomics forum I post on. I am usually in Bucketman's mom's room when my pants are off.
my poop is my own worst enemy lately
that is a word that is not used often enough
Except not smart
A Higgins
there's a typo there if you can find it
A nerd is a person who obsesses over a particular subject or subjects, typically of a nonsocial nature, to the point that it dominates or defines their life.
Dork comes closest in my mind.
Jock.
Alex is a nerd; he'd rather watch videos about computer games than sleep with a woman.
I use it as a term of endearment to my husband all the time. He tends to ramble on about games or roleplaying games for a little longer than I'd like. I'll say 'you're such a nerd' as an affectionate reminder to him to stop talking.
I can't recall when specifically but I'm sure I have. I can also obsess quite easily over certain games, TV shows or books.
I was called a nerd just five minutes ago for concentrating on filling out this survey rather than sleeping.
If that's not a good enough answer I'm also called a nerd for writing a story rather than sleeping.
It depends entirely upon the context in which it is used. If my friends or relatives call me a nerd it's typically out of affection. However, I never consider it a compliment. From a stranger it would be an insult.
I see it used by people who are perhaps nerds themselves to call out other people's antisocial and obsessive natures. I think most people become obsessed with something at some point in their lives, only some hobbies are seen as more socially acceptable than others. To be a nerd is decidedly unattractive and uncool, so people tend to use it either in a self-depreciating sense or to point out that someone else is an even greater nerd than they are.
Gender: Female
Age: 26
When I took this questionnaire: 10/6/2009 1:37 am
Where: In bed, on my laptop
Location: San Jose, CA
Undressing: All the time
edit - Oh, but not like in the too creepy way. :P
edit 2 - I was more giggling at the line regarding Alex.
