nerdstered

A phenomenon resulting from an attempt to pass off a fallacious story as factual, only to subsequently have the story proven wrong, resulting in exhibited defensiveness, bitterness and embarrassment on the part of the teller of said false story.

Synonym: PWNT

The term was derived from the following thread (created by a poster names "nerdster") on the NC State message boards:

Note the weak attempts at insulting those who are laughing at the expense of him having "nerdstered" himself throughout the thread.

Nerdster

Someone who could very easily be a nerd, but is reserved in class, and almost never shows off his intelligence. Considered to be very cool by his peers. Usually a lot smarter than the suck-ups, nerds, teacher's pets, etc, and is the real teacher's favorite.

Teacher: Now who can tell me what the white whale symbolizes in Moby Dick?

Regular Nerd: That's simple! The whale is evil!

Teacher: Very good, the exact answer i was looking for! Wait, Mr. Fisher, what do you think?

Fisher: The whale symbolizes a vengeful God. This was forshadowed by the sermon on Jonah's hubris near the beginning. Ahab thought he was a modern day Jonah, and he thought he could kill God. But, his life is taken in the end because of his hubris, similar to Jonah.

Teacher: That... That's brilliant, Mr. Fisher...brilliant.

Student: Dude, you're such a nerdster!

Fisher: Meh.
