Used to denote people who are or assumed to be quite knowledgeable in at least one particular area of interest and have little or no known in person social life. Generally socially akward.
The current use of WONK is as an acronym popular in the "In" crowd. Possible meanings.
1. Without Normal Knowledge - Possible, but awkward.
2. Weird Ole Nerdy Kid - Has always fit the contexted in which it was used better.
In my experience the second is more probable.
Youi're a WONK. No I'm not.
