Interesting how the spelling of the word has evolved, or at least become more acceptable, using an "e" instead of a "u."

tintin said...: What I've always liked about nerds is that, for the most part, they loved what they loved without any outside pushing or influence. I was a photo nerd in 8th and 9th grade and that was not a popular thing to be. Nerds, and I probably still am one - at least I hope - are passionate.

Nerds love to talk and write about what they like. And they ignore the cool and hip because those folks are on a short train ride. You can't be passionate about something that has fashion's life expectancy.

I think there are people out there who have hopped on this train and the minute Nik Nik shirts are back, they'll hop off this train. But I've been dressing like this for a very long time and taking pictures too. So I guess I am a nerd. Excuse me while I pick my nose.; 03 August, 2011 17:12

Unclelooney said...: A dorm room favorite and the obvious influence for the Are You A Preppy Poster. Also, you have to remember that those National Lampoon guys of that era graduated from high school in the 60's. 1975 nerds looked a bit different.; 05 August, 2011 09:02
Unclelooney said...: Actually the poster was a bit different. I seem to rember a slide rule tie clip and a Ban lon shirt with notches on the sleeves.; 05 August, 2011 09:17
