Correct. You are today's winner!
Main Entry: nerd
Pronunciation: 'n&rd
Function: noun
Etymology: perhaps from nerd, a creature in the children's book If I Ran the
Zoo (1950) by Dr. Seuss (Theodor Geisel)
: an unstylish, unattractive, or socially inept person; especially : one
slavishly devoted to intellectual or academic pursuits <computer nerds>

I remember hearing that on TV in one of those "light" news
moments... probably during the Revenge of the Nerds era.
....time to go Box my Gox in yellow Gox Sox.
