umm ackshually this is false, the concept of nerd originates from a viking ship that docked at Lübeck in 873, whereupon the crew got into an extended argument about the precise value of their cargo, leading to the Lübeck merchants exclaiming “Fücking Nörds!” and that quickly caught on and eventually the term started generally referring to anyone that was annoyingly pedantic but technically correct.
What makes them think that the library of Alexandria did it any other way? Nerds have existed long before the internet…
Nerds were invented by Charles Nerd, when in 1948, separated from the Poindexters and the eggheads after disagreement.
You can only call then Nerds if they’re from the Nerdeaux region of France. Otherwise they’re just sparkling smartasses
