Years ago, nerds were put down and made fun of.
It used to be something to look down on,
but now...I strive to nerd-out.
And really, now, nerds rule the world.
Nerd,
according to the Urban Dictionary-
An 'individual', i.e. a person who does not conform to society's beliefs
that all people should follow trends and do what their peers do.
A person who gains pleasure from amassing large quantities
of knowledge about subjects often too detailed or
complicated for most other people to be bothered with.
Nerds exist covertly within the fabric of society,
often choosing to 'nerd it up' in private or in the
company of fellow nerds. It is for this reason they are
feared the most - unlike geeks, who are easily identified,
nerds can only be found out when casual conversation
reaches a subject that they like nerding.
We are going to be nerding out all over Paris and Egypt.
Chicks rock.Chicks are awesome.
Chicks have been around since the 1600's.
Thank you Mr. Shakespeare.
And these chicks know their nerdiness.
We own it.
We relish in the fact that we can completely nerd out together.
Shakespeare, 1611
The earliest use of "chick" as a term of endearment for a young girl was in 1611 -- by Shakespeare in The Tempest (Act V, Scene I):
My Ariel; chicke That is thy charge.
Since we are teachers, learning never stops.

No matter what, you'll get a glimpse into our nerdy ways.
