Not really, it's just more of a personal signature or something of that sort :p |

| By the way Lira, you seem to have misused "befriend" in your OP. |

I thought it meant "to become friends with". I just looked it up on Wordnik and only one dictionary gives that definition... should I have used another verb then?
And I'm happy you pointed that out... I assume that's my only outrageous mistake in the OP :p |

You wrote, "If I fail [to be "nerdy" like him], he will befriend me." That seems kind of nonsensical, if he wants to be friends with people who are like him. |

| Only nerds engage in pedantic banter over the internet anyway. This whole thread has been a trap. |

| Nah, the net has become just another extension of off-line life now. Used to be more of an escapist thing, perhaps. But with the rise of Facebook the net-real merger is complete. |

Oh, that was a joke I forgot to develop. I meant to say it was a trap and he was just doing that to test me because he's afraid of being around nerds - if I turn out to be a "normal" person, then we can be friends :p| quote: | Originally posted by Maige
Lira, do you ever get the feeling that the precise definition of a word like nerd, geek, dork, dweeb, etc. doesn't matter to most who use them in an insulting manner? |
I get the feeling that the precise definition of any insult is irrelevant. "Bastard", for example. Is it really insulting if someone says you were born out of wedlock? :p |

I'm pretty sure it's something you eat for dessert after you devour that calf burrito of yours :p |
