It's not necessarily a bad thing or a good thing; it's just a characteristic. A nerd is unusually smart, esp. in math, science, and/or computers. He or she tends to know a lot about pop culture, yet, ironically, often doesn't have great social skills. Usually has a great sarcastic, witty sense of humor (deriving from the knowledge of pop culture). Well-rounded, but just can't express him/herself to non-nerdy people well. Examples: Seth Cohen on "The O.C." (the best example) Shia LaBoeuf's character in "Transformers" The "I'm a Mac" guy in "Live Free or Die Hard" Geek, dork, and dweeb, on the other hand, tend to have negative connotations.
