[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had a millennial employee - now at a grad school program - whose gmail was xyzNerdGirl@gmail.com. She wasn’t cool- in fact had a big sarcastic chip on her shoulder, but she also wasn’t smart or hard working. Somewhere along the lines of not quite fitting in anywhere she seems to have just started calling herself a nerd. [/quote] I hate these people, the ones whose whole personality is being “snarky” or “sarcastic” and have decided to label this total lack of social skills as “nerdy”. no actually you just suck![/quote] Bring nerdy is exactly that - uncool and lacking social skills. Sounds like this person got it right calling herself a nerd. As higher ed becomes a status symbol, a lot of people humble brag how ‘nerdy’ they are in effort to seem, paradoxically, cooler, because they think they’re just calling themselves smarter. It’s an annoying trend. [/quote]
