Nerd, like any other slang word, has many meanings. Some say a Nerd is just anyone who isn't socially skilled. Mainly though, nerds are intellectuals who place their hobbies, usually but not necessarily computers (other types of nerds include Sci-fi nerds, RPG nerds.. These can cross over with computer nerds. See geek). This does NOT mean they jack off to wired magazine, and it DEFINITELY doesn't mean they are usually gay 'out of necessity'. Nerds can be seen as generally more intelligent than 'normal' people, but this only makes up for their lack of 'social skills'. Actually, nerds do have 'lives' with high-paid jobs and communities of nerds, but aren't good at socialising with people who aren't other nerds.
Examples of nerd types:
Computer Nerd
Comic Book Nerd
RPG Nerd
Linux Nerd
Maths Nerd
Trekkie (Or a general Sci-Fi Nerd)
See Geek, practically the same meaning, different spelling and pronunciation.

A nerd is what people refer to as a "social outcast", because they supposedly do not meet the needs for what "society" wants them to. (See: Jocks) Jocks are the biggest perpetrator to this, and often try to steal their lunch money. Most Jocks own ricers and (despite popular belief) hang out on the computer all the time. Jocks (See bully) are mostly responsible for school shootings.
Nerds usually spend a lot of time on a computer, most are socially awkward and cannot get a girlfriend, yet they are usually good people. Some nerds watch a horrible thing called Japanese animation SEE: anime
A nerd is persecuted by people (those in their teens) who try to be cool, and try to assert themselves in the highschool food chain, but they fail and learn that the nerd grows up to be more successful than any other person that persecuted him in highschool or college.
Nerds sometimes grow up to be very rich.

A smart and hard-working teenager. Once they graduate from their adolescence, they are no longer considered nerds but instead people who have made something of themselves through hard work and determination.

A: Gah.

A highly intelligent person whose intellectual curiosity inspires him/her to work hard at a difficult subject, often merely for personal pleasure, and often obtaining formidable knowledge as a result.
People who are addicted to video games and consequently know a lot about them don't count.
E.g. Leonardo da Vinci, the quintessential nerd
