Nerd refers to somebody who passionately pursues intellectual or esoteric knowledge or pastimes rather than engaging in social life, such as participating in organized sports or other mainstream social activities. The Merriam-Webster definition is an “unstylish, unattractive, or socially inept person: especially: one slavishly devoted to intellectual or academic pursuits.” While Nerd, Dork and Geek share in passionate pursuit of detailed knowledge, the Australian colloquialism dag shares the association with the unfashionable and socially inept with the added feature of being affable and amusing. A nerd is often excluded from physical activity, and is often considered a loner by peers.

Here’s the official deffinition of “nerd” from my dictionary:

-an intelligent but single minded person obsessed with a nonsocial hobby or pursuit

or can also mean

-a prejudice of all ppl that wear glasses

or

– unattractive/stupid/boring

or just

-a person that lacks skill in certain activities/does certain things in a weird way

Hello, fellow Korean!
Being a nerd isn’t specifically a bad thing.
When I hear the word ‘nerd’, I think of a person that is:
Smart/intelligent
Introverted and shy
Not social

But others consider nerds to be unpopular, too studious, dull and foolish.

But thinking that way is not very nice.
If you think you are a nerd, don’t be upset about it. It could be a good thing! ???
