The use of an analogy or reference in [conversation] that is highly academic in nature. Knowledge of the [particular] reference typically requires advanced study - often in technical fields but is not strictly limited to such. The proper use of a nerd pimpslap will generally cause silence, bewilderment and/or a sense of shocked awe in the audience. Nerd pimpslapping is the [opposite] of using analogy to explain complex academic topics. (i.e. using complex analogy to explain simple phenomena) The reference maker is effectivly slapping his / her audience with academia that is so ostentatious, outlandish, and perhaps [pretentious] that any further argument is suffocated. However, care must be taken not to attempt to nerd pimpslap those who are highly educated in the field of reference. Doing so may evoke a response with an even stronger nerd pimpslap. Special note: pop cultural references to Star Trek, Star Wars and other icons of geekiness do not constitute a nerd pimpslap.
