Menurut kamus WordNet 2.0:

Menurut kamus Jargon yang dibuat oleh Eric Raymond:
nerd /n./
1. [mainstream slang] Pejorative applied to anyone with an above-average IQ and few gifts at small talk and ordinary social rituals.
2. [jargon] Term of praise applied (in conscious ironic reference to sense 1) to someone who knows what's really important and interesting and doesn't care to be distracted by trivial chatter and silly status games.
Nerd adalah sebutan bagi orang yang lebih (bahkan eksesif) dalam mempelajari sesuatu dibandingkan dengan orang lain. Bukan keahlian atau kepakaran yang menjadi penilaian, tapi waktu dan sumberdaya yang digunakan secara berlebih. Waktu dan sumberdaya tersebut biasanya dijadikan sebuah proses yang namanya hack (yang sering disalahartikan dengan crack) dan orangnya cenderung bersifat geek.
Hack menurut Jargon (4 dari 9 arti yang dikutip):
1. /n./ Originally, a quick job that produces what is needed, but not well.
2. /n./ An incredibly good, and perhaps very time-consuming, piece of work that produces exactly what is needed.
3. /vt./ To bear emotionally or physically. "I can't hack this heat!"
4. /vt./ To work on something (typically a program). In an immediate sense: "What are you doing?" "I'm hacking TECO." In a general (time-extended) sense: "What do you do around here?" "I hack TECO." More generally, "I hack `foo'" is roughly equivalent to "`foo' is my major interest (or project)". "I hack solid-state physics".
Geek menurut WordNet:
1: a carnival performer who does disgusting acts
2: a person with an unusual or odd personality syn: eccentric, eccentric person, flake, oddball
So, how nerdy are you?
