From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
nerd n.   1. [mainstream slang] Pejorative applied to anyone    with an above-average IQ and few gifts at small talk and ordinary    social rituals.   2. [jargon] Term of praise applied (in conscious    ironic reference to sense 1) to someone who knows what's really    important and interesting and doesn't care to be distracted by    trivial chatter and silly status games.   Compare the two senses of    {computer geek}.          The word itself appears to derive from the lines "And then, just to    show them, I'll sail to Ka-Troo / And Bring Back an It-Kutch, a Preep       and a Proo, / A Nerkle, a Nerd, and a Seersucker, too!" in the    Dr. Seuss book "If I Ran the Zoo" (1950). (The spellings `nurd' and    `gnurd' also used to be current at MIT.) How it developed its    mainstream meaning is unclear, but sense 1 seems to have entered    mass culture in the early 1970s (there are reports that in the    mid-1960s it meant roughly "annoying misfit" without the connotation    of intelligence).          An IEEE Spectrum article (4/95, page 16) once derived `nerd' in its    variant form `knurd' from the word `drunk' backwards, but this    bears all the hallmarks of a bogus folk etymology.          Hackers developed sense 2 in self-defense perhaps ten years later,    and some actually wear "Nerd Pride" buttons, only half as a joke.    At MIT one can find not only buttons but (what else?) pocket    protectors bearing the slogan and the MIT seal.
