You know you’re a nerd when, the following applies to you.

24 Aug

You may be asking yourself, “am I a nerd?”. Here’s a good indication if you are.

1. If you know the origins of the word “Nerd”, i.e., Dr. Seuss’s book “If I Ran the Zoo” where the narrator Gerald McGrew claims that he would collect “a Nerkle, a Nerd, and a Seersucker too” for his imaginary zoo.

2. If you don’t attend mindless social rituals or mindless social gatherings, i.e., “parties,”

3. Especially if you refer to “parties” as “mindless social rituals” or “mindless social gatherings”.

4. If you’re reading this blog.

There you have it, 4 sure fire ways of determining your social status. To clarify, I am not expressing anything bad about nerds. I am one myself.

    you neglected number 5:

    If you don’t know the difference between “your,” the second person possessive adjective, and “you’re,” the contraction for “you are.”
