A '''nerd''' is a pejorative, anti-[[intellectual]], [[slang]] [[term]] for someone who is generally [[intelligence|intelligent]] and accomplished in an unfashionable and/or difficult subject (often of a scientific or technical nature), yet is considered to be boring, socially inept and disinterested in [[gossip]] or [[fashion industry values|fashion]].
Although nerds are often [[mockery|mocked]] for lacking interest in [[Hollywood values]] or their poor dress sense, they are often the most productive and innovative members of [[society]], dedicating themselves in lifelong research to discover a cure for a fatal [[disease]] or decyphering an important [[history|historical]] text.
Nerds' natural shyness often leads to difficulty in meeting and interacting with members of the opposite [[sex]]. However, when [[marriage|married]] they usually make faithful and devoted [[spouse]]s.
The origin of the term is most often attributed to an angry little man in [[Dr. Seuss]]'s book ''If I Ran the [[Zoo]]'', published in 1950.
