+790 A nerd used to be someone who spent their Friday nights at Mathletes competitions and liked to play with their calculator. Now, the definition has been expanded to anyone who is passionate about anything. amirite?

I think someone who is passionate about something like Star Wars, math, writing, or anime would be considered a geeek, not a nerd.
