The term "Nerd" originated in the 1950 book "If I Ran the Zoo" by Dr. Suess!
The line from the book goes:
"And then, just to show them, I'll sail to Ka-Troo. And Bring Back an IT-KUTCH, a PREEP and a PROO, a NERKLE, a NERD, and a SEERSUCKER, too!"
The term became widely used and is defined as "a foolish person who lacks social skills or is boringly studious."
Just another thing that Dr. Suess gave to the world!
