Homonym: Nerd (Geek)
A "nerd" is often described as a person who is deeply passionate about specific subjects, particularly in areas like science, technology, comics, or video games. This enthusiasm can lead to extensive knowledge and expertise, sometimes making them seem socially awkward or out of touch with mainstream interests.
The term has evolved over time and is now often embraced positively, with many identifying as nerds with pride. In popular culture, nerds are frequently depicted in movies and TV shows, contributing to a growing appreciation for their unique skills and interests, such as in the Marvel Cinematic Universe or Silicon Valley.
