Nerd is the Intersecton of Dork, Dweeb, and Geek

A most excellent Venn diagram.

Anyone who actually LIKES Venn diagrams (and who says things like, "You can find Nerd at the intersection of Geek and Dork), is of course pretty good nerd material already. Otherwise, you think it's like the intersection of Hollywood and Vine, which is a street corner.

for more (occasionally) cool venn's, be sure to check graphjam (part of the family of ichc and ihasahotdog, which I KNOW your co-blogger visits).

Technically, Nerd is the intersection of Intelligence, Social Ineptitude, and Obsession. Dork, Dweeb, and Geek are themselves intersections of exactly two of each of these, Dork, Dweeb, Geek, and Nerd mutually exclusive.

Now, then. Let me just push my comically large glasses back up on my shiny, oily nose...

That should read 'making Dork, Dweeb, Geek, and Nerd...' there at the end.

The point still stands, though. Nerd is *not* the intersection of Dork, Dweeb, and Geek.

noahpoah beat me to it. Back to calc homework.

Good lord, you people are nerds.

And also wrong. Define the set G as the intersection of I and O

Define the set D as the intersection of O and SI.

Define the set Dw as intersection between I and SI.

Now, the following two statements are BOTH true:

1. N is the intersection of I, SI, and O

2. N is the intersection of Dw, D, and G

All you have proved is that statement 1 is TRUE. That does not imply that 2 is FALSE.

And my claim was simply that statement 2 was true.

Our good blogger is correct. Nerd is the intersection of Geek, Dork, and Dweebs.

Those who doubted him are, of course, dorks.
