Nerdy Chicks Rule

Nerds.
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.
