The term was derived from the following thread (created by a poster names "nerdster") on the NC State message boards: http://mbd.scout.com/mb.aspx?s=178&f=2535&t=2721704 Note the weak attempts at insulting those who are laughing at the expense of him having "nerdstered" himself throughout the thread.
An intelligent, nerdy, not-quite hipster.
I met this nerdster. She wears ray-bans while studying atomic physics.
Someone who could very easily be a nerd, but is reserved in class, and almost never shows off his intelligence. Considered to be very cool by his peers. Usually a lot smarter than the suck-ups, nerds, teacher's pets, etc, and is the real teacher's favorite.
Teacher: Now who can tell me what the white whale symbolizes in Moby Dick? Regular Nerd: That's simple! The whale is evil! Teacher: Very good, the exact answer i was looking for! Wait, Mr. Fisher, what do you think? Fisher: The whale symbolizes a vengeful God. This was forshadowed by the sermon on Jonah's hubris near the beginning. Ahab thought he was a modern day Jonah, and he thought he could kill God. But, his life is taken in the end because of his hubris, similar to Jonah. Teacher: That... That's brilliant, Mr. Fisher...brilliant. Student: Dude, you're such a nerdster! Fisher: Meh.
