EN: nerd
This is a direct import from English, glasses and all. In the Philippines, a 'nerd' is usually the class top-notcher, the one who actually reads the textbook, or the person who can explain the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe timeline without breathing. It used to be an insult, but now, in the age of Silicon Valley and esports, being a 'nerd' is kind of a flex. 'Geek' is its cooler cousin.
From English 'nerd'.
A direct English loanword that has been fully adopted into Taglish and colloquial Filipino. The meaning is identical to its English counterpart.
