Nerd Word of the Day: Nerdic

Many of these words will work their into the language. We are slowly being Nerdicized. Many people use terms such as “IMing”, “blog” and several others. I hope that our attention to the extra silly words does not cause us to inadvertantly contribute to the problem.

lmao! NO it might be an expression of the EU and the complication between dialects in Europe that they need so many translators… They’ll probably go to Marina(you) for the answer. LOL! What the EU should do it Make it essential just as the majesterium of the Catholic church and it’s universities make Latin or Greek a requirement. :wink:

if it’s not a language, it could be some sort of dialect or sociolect.

Aviation has it’s own ‘language’ too, with terms like ‘pireps’ (pilot reports) and so on. So Nerdic may just stay in the computer world.

“Nerdic” could be the name for a collection of terms, but it isn’t a language, even compared to Russian. For example, if I spoke “Nerdic” to you, would I be the “Nerder” and you the “Nerdee”?
In computer technology, processors and capacity are evolving so quickly, “Nerdic” terms will have to change just as fast. I wonder why they didn’t decide to call it “Geekese”, anyway! :razz:

Spanish & Chinese may be the top two most spoken world wide languages.

You actually did post from WP to Twitter! (In WordPress MU, MU doesn’t stand for mash-up but stands for Multi-User.) Regarding being thankful, I think you are being bad-ass thankful! I need to think about your this type of bad-assness.

yeah.

The Summer Institute for Linguistics (SIL) Ethnologue Survey (1999) lists the following as the top languages by population:

Good guess on my part, I was hoping someone would find the facts. Tks alex :smile:

Is sociolect a word? I like it.

That was really funny, Marina!

Breaker Breaker 1-9 Amigo… we got a nerdic beaver reporter on the back door of smokey the bear’s tail… smokey looks to be a bean bopper chasing some bear bait… Over! :shock:

:lol: [nerdterrific]

Uh… Right.

He’s one sandwich short of a picnic! (a polite way of say he’s a tad fishy!)
negative patient care outcome, neutralized, no longer a factor, no longer with us, no more, non-living, nonviable
LANG.youAge..it might die with the MutherTEXT :idea: :arrow: alex :cool:

I never even HEARD the term. So, no, I’d have to say it’s not a language…

Groovy… diggin’ your vibes man.
You’re showing your age when call it a “problem”. Remember the “problem” our parents had with the “generation gap”… peace baby :cool:

Why don’t we play a little buzzword bingo? As long as we limit the buzzwords to nerdic words, it can be fun.

But beware to use the equivalent of nerd words that are used in modern economics for a bullshit bingo game because that could provoke a lot of anger.

I wonder. Is there a such thing as a ‘nerdist’ — as in the equivalent of a ‘racist’ but against nerds? Nah, not yet. That will happen when nerds create artificial intelligence capable of taking over humankind. Then nerds will be outcasts for years till they fix the problem; then a ‘nerdist’ will eventually be a bad thing.

What’s so bad about that? New technologies that find their ways into our daily lives require new words to describe what we’re doing with these technologies. A hell lot of new words found their way into several languages when cars, radios, TV sets, telephones or freezers became commonly used.

On the other side, words that describe the burdens that our ancestors had to take because they didn’t have these technologies may disappear from the language. The only constant in this world is change.

Seems like there has been a big decrease in the number of comments lately.

Okay, you guys convinced me. I’m getting friggin’ old. :sad: Problem, maybe not. Let’s just make sure the words that we use, mean what we say. :???:

If you wanna see some pretty cool pics of the Blue Angels in San Fransisco, look here. These cats are flying low! 2 :cool:

Yes. It is more than a little disconcerting. :cry:

:cool: Low and crystal clear. Those are the best ones i have seen of the Blue Angels. Good pictures :cool: :lol:

See viewership at YouTube graph by clicking the TubeMogul button (below the column of Quote and Top Posts) — when you move the horizontal slider, the graph does not settle — one has to move the slider and wait for the graph to settle; also, the y-axis changes.

Marina, could you support a graph of daily viewership in which the horizontal axis in not just about 30 days but the full time (2+years)?

Don’t blame me. :oops:

Cool…I got to see the Blue Angels, right under them…my dad had us pick rocks from the field(he rented the land) of where the Blue Angels flew over…long time ago, but i’ll never forget :cool:

Also, there are more posts, so there are more places to leave comments at.

More post should translate into more comments but it doesn’t.

It seems like there are just less people in general who visit this site.

If you scroll real fast it’s like a ‘flip book’ :shock:

Tks for pointing out those graphs to me, I would never have discovered them on my own. :smile:

I have to say I’m not a big fan of the Nerd Word of the Day thing. I guess I find the older words and their origin of more interest. Just my opinion.

“Nerdic” would be a jargon.

Amen :mrgreen:

I look forward to them both.

Those are great shots! :mrgreen:
Ft. Lauderdale isn’t having the annual airshow this year :cry:
Nobody wants to pay the exhorbatant prices to attend.
They used to have a good draw when it was free and had
local sponsors. It infused a lot of money into the economy,
until the local politicians got greedy and f*cked it all up
for everybody. (sigh)
Let’s hope Frisco politicians don’t get greedy, too.

Yeah. I haven’t said anything, but I’ve been concerned about that too. My observation as an ignorant outsider is that it seems to be related to the shorter lessons Marina began doing when YT crapped out. I have assumed Marina decided not to invest a half a day on a “normal” length lesson that wouldn’t get seen by the usual number of viewers, and so she’s been waiting out YT to get their act back to normal, whatever “normal” is these days with YT.

Wow! Those are brilliant photos.
I haven’t seen the Blue Angels live, only on film, but I was amused to see they even walk about on the ground in formation.

Marina is the queen (of NERDIC), that is, what a sexy geek is all about?….right!!! OK, global trails are being laid by the Republic of Lexicon and the presentations from HotForWords~~~~

Words don’t hurt; it’s the people using them

Mind you, I say that nerds of the same species use the same language.

Boys! Eyes on the teacher! Will she appear today? Will she not? Oh! The thrill of the waiting! What new surprises does she have in store for us?

har! yes!

klitschko ftw!

Hey alex, don’t give up.
I’ll be back, again later.
Had visitors, then there was scheduled infrastructural IT changes at work, but I am not part of that group, but happen to have the knowledge and live very close to the data center, so I was recruited. Must be nice to be wanted, Now i know how Marina feels. :lol:
I’ll be back again.

This is English with tech words interlaced I cant see it as a separate language, more of a style/dialect/jargon of the English language. Interlace these words into a language a person doesn’t read or understand and only those words are recognizable as words of the parent language or the language used to ascertain the word meaning.

Nice one PK!

Nerd up! :grin: ;-)

thank you

Back in 1969, the Blue Angels performed during our summer Regatta… something went wrong with one of the planes… “had to step on the gas”… hit the sound barrier and blew out all kinds of store windows downtown… it was a really exciting time. The Canadian Broadcast Corporation (CBC) has it right here in its archives… August 6, 1969 :mrgreen:

Any [dyed in the wool] Nerdic is a language. I’m very familiar with this language for I speak it well, or at least I used to. :) I have to try very hard not to speak it for many people get confused and I have to explain what I’m talking about. This make the conversation longer and I loose my train of thought.

A true RB drinking nerdic coder would know it’s un-cool to use such noobish lingo for u’r site might might get php code REMed out to the max. :razz:

Hi there Captain Jack,

Nerdic is a language. I’m very familiar with this language for I speak it well, or at least I used to.

So would you say then that a nautical mile like a nerdical mile?

:mrgreen: Please make sure to use excessive nerdicular dialogue when texting in the “nerd”

Where is Nerdland on the map? :???:

I just asked a question on twitter, how to get my wife’s mac to respond? the DVD prgrm errored out & the twirly thing wouldn’t stop. Three people came to my rescue. I asked from my PC laptop… from my crappy old IE browser. In the meantime my wife just kept pushing buttons on the iMac til it stopped acting up.
Still don’t know what she did. Isn’t a Mac supposed to be simpler. How does one go about a reboot from the keyboard? ctrl-alt-delete didn’t work.

Oh & one bit of advice I got “stick a straightened paper clip in the DVD drive & it will open”… One shouldn’t give a licensed mechanic that option. Geez, I always wanted to take an iMac apart. lol

:lol: NERD LAND is a very noisy place. Better make sure your speaker volume is set on low first:

Searching for nerdic, the nerdic quest for nerd identity, has been likened to that of a spiritual adventure for the holy grail and a deep interest in the Da Vinci code:

It must have a common border with the Republic of Lexicon. Otherwise our teacher wouldn’t be there so often.

Using schooling to prevent development of minds, regulate health care industry so that good doctors quit … use twitter to delude people into thinking they are trained doctors so that they can go though the motions of being a doctor under the new health care system!: http://www.yahoo.com/s/1047609

Three years ago they would have made a story about a brain surgeon opening a clinic in Second Life. Now they make a story about a brain surgeon tweeting the operation. I wonder what they will be doing in two or three years, when Twitter will be mostly forgotten like Second Life today.

Then there’s Twitter proctoscopy where a rectal doctor could tweet a full proctoscopic examination, do a colonoscopy, and feed a colonoscope tube camera into a patient’s colon, all done with the patient’s permission first of course, including a barium enema x-ray in his/her daily Twitter photo file.
