| Smart =/= nerd. I know plenty of smart people who were definitely not nerds in high school. Nerd is now more synonymous with geek/dork, aka into "weird stuff", rather than meaning "very intelligent". However, quite often, liking weird things (sci-fi, comic books, fantasy games, fairies, etc) and being very intelligent coincide. Most of the people I know who like all those things ARE really smart. |
