"I'm a huge nerd."

Is this just a subtle brag about how smart one [think he or she] is, disguised as lighthearted self-deprecation?
I'm beginning to think it is.
I'm sure this has been discussed on here before, but I'm a huge nerd, so I was probably busy coding some apps or inventing something in my physics lab.

i say im a nerd because im 27 years old and still enjoy the hell out of video games and movies/tv.
being smart is secondary to all that.

Great thread.
We now return you to your regularly-scheduled OT shittiness, already in progress.

I dont think someone who calls them-self a nerd is referencing how smart they are, but their interest and hobbies

Nerd is "cool" now. So if someone watches an episode of The Big Bang Theory and reads the first 3 chapters of The Hunger Games, he or she will make a facebook post about being such a nerd.

Most of the time when I see this it is said/posted on social media by some pretty hot/cute chick trying to get compliments. It's what girls do (fishing) so as to not come off as vain or self absorbed.

Also it gives you a disclaimer about liking non main stream things.
Essentially saying "there's no point in making fun of me, I'm well aware"

There is a difference between a geek and a nerd.

I often feel shameful for just how much I know about the Star Wars universe and would never display that knowledge proudly.

Not all nerds are smart.

Nerd has more to do with interest than actual intelligence, but yeah "nerd" has become cool and everyone wants to be one. Part of the hipster movement

Being self deprecating is in these days, so calling yourself a nerd makes you look cool.

Only with honkeys. 'Democrats' definitely aren't into that.
