The W you all know and love is a nerd. Now this is not to be mistaken for a geek. According to Old Man Rivers, there is an important distinction. Nerds watch BSG, Geeks watch Star Trek. I finally received all my grades back from my recent return into the land of ivory towers: A, A-, B, and A+.
Yeah, I was dissapointed in the B too, but I take full responsibility. I shall make amends this semester. Watch out fellow nerds...Dubya is on a rampage.

I believe you misunderstood my wisdom seni. I'll sort this out:
nerd /nerd/
–noun Slang.
1. A person who gains pleasure from amassing large quantities of knowledge about subjects often too detailed or complicated for most other people to be bothered with.
geek /geek/
–noun Slang.
1. A person who aspire to become nerds, yet lack the intelligence, and end up giving nerds a bad name due to their poor social skills.
2. A person who is often mistaken for a "nerd".
Non-nerds are often scared of nerds, due to their detailed knowledge, and therefore seemingly high levels of intelligence - and subsequently denigrate them as much as possible as often as possible.
Nerds exist covertly within the fabric of society, often choosing to 'nerd it up' in private or in the company of fellow nerds. It is for this reason they are feared the most - unlike geeks, who are easily identified, nerds can only be found out when casual conversation reaches a subject that they like nerding.
Geek: "I am a nerd"
Nerd: "Let's bash this nerd"
Nerd: "That'll teach you to go playing with my tesla coil"
Glad I could clear things up.
Also, what subject did you get a B in?
It couldn't be "21st Century Mainstream Media Art forms: the existential metaphor for the existence and salvation of humanity, if we are to be saved at all" class.
Um, what's BSG?
I guess I fail the nerd test. boo.
Happy new year!
BSG = Battlestar Galactica (the new series)
