Sorry OP, but this needed to be done.
NERDS
I saw a girl wearing a “I love nerds” t-shirt. I wanted to walk up to her say, “No you don’t.” You like cool nerds - the ones who design threadless t-shirts and make lo-fi music and wear vests. But there are nerds out there with no discernible talent or skill. Some of these guys just wear cloaks and that’s it. A dude with horn rimmed glasses who makes iphone apps is not a real nerd. I know a 300lb guy who lives in his mom’s basement, drinks Moutain Dew, calls himself Dragon, and wears an amulet because it makes him feel strong and safe. He’s a nerd. You want to meet that guy? He’s single and afraid to mingle.
This is absurdly relevant to stuff I have talked about at length. I dream of sexy nerds and geeks every night, bespectacled John Krasinski types who will hold me while watching Mystery Science Theater 3000. I know there’s a distinction between these two, but what are we to call the latter? Serds? Sounds like a racial slur. S’geeks? You’re trying to make me sound like I have a speech impediment. And I resent that.
