A person who knows a lot about something you don't understand.
So, just because I think it's a little funny the performance increased exactly Phi times when I optimized my quantum entanglement simulation program by introducing SSE3 instructions, you call me a nerd? Gee, you are so BIOS, I mean biased.

A person who knows so much, they're just awesome. Often used as an insult. Should this happen to you, simply reply with "Thank you for acknowledging my superior intelligence!"
Also, a really tasty and colourful Wonka candy.
Nerds and geeks are often confused. Geeks are like wannabe nerds: They lack the knowledge and social skills of nerds.
Person 1: You're such a nerd!
Person 2: Thank you for acknowledging my superior intelligence!
Person 1: ...

A person having an unhealthy obsession with fiction or fantasy related media and entertainment.
A classic trademark of nerd behavior is an unthinking bias (or lack of objectivity) in regard to topics of their interest, I.E., "Star Wars is Harrison Ford's best film".

It's not necessarily a bad thing or a good thing; it's just a characteristic.
A nerd is unusually smart, esp. in math, science, and/or computers. He or she tends to know a lot about pop culture, yet, ironically, often doesn't have great social skills. Usually has a great sarcastic, witty sense of humor (deriving from the knowledge of pop culture). Well-rounded, but just can't express him/herself to non-nerdy people well.
Examples:
Seth Cohen on "The O.C." (the best example)
Shia LaBoeuf's character in "Transformers"
The "I'm a Mac" guy in "Live Free or Die Hard"
Geek, dork, and dweeb, on the other hand, tend to have negative connotations.

Guy 2: I think the women are tired of jerks and want someone who'll treat them nice and take care of them.
Guy 1: Yeah. So you want to get wasted and treat women like meaningless objects?
Guy 2: Yeah! Let's go!
