《美国传统辞典》（双解）
The word nerd and a nerd, undefined but illustrated, first appeared in 1950 in Dr. Seuss's If I Ran the Zoo: 揂nd 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 nerd itself is a small humanoid creature looking comically angry, like a thin, cross Chester A. Arthur.) Nerdnext appears, with a gloss, in the February 10, 1957, issue of the Glasgow, Scotland, Sunday Mail in a regular column entitled 揂BC for SQUARES? 揘erd梐 square, any explanation needed??Many of the terms defined in this 揂BC?are unmistakable Americanisms, such as hep, ick, and jazzy, as is the gloss 搒quare,?the current meaning of nerd. The third appearance of nerd in print is back in the United States in 1970 in Current Slang: ?Nurd [sic], someone with objectionable habits or traits. . . . An uninteresting person, a 慸ud.挃 Authorities disagree on whether the two nerds桪r. Seuss's small creature and the teenage slang term in the Glasgow Sunday Mail梐re the same word. Some experts claim there is no semantic connection and the identity of the words is fortuitous. Others maintain that Dr. Seuss is the true originator of nerd and that the word nerd (揷omically unpleasant creature? was picked up by the five- and six-year-olds of 1950 and passed on to their older siblings, who by 1957, as teenagers, had restricted and specified the meaning to the most comically obnoxious creature of their own class, a 搒quare.?
单词 nerd和 anerd，无定义但有说明，第一次出现于1950年瑟斯博士写的 要是我管动物园中：“然后，仅仅是为了给他们看，我将航行到Ka-Troo，并带回It-Kutch a Preep和a Proo a Nerkle a Nerd ，还有一件印度泡泡纱！”（蠢货本身是一个具有人类特点的小动物，一副好笑发怒的样子，像瘦小很生气的切斯特·A阿瑟）。 Nerd接着在1957年2月10日苏格兰格拉斯哥人一期杂志上再次出现，还有一个解释。 星期日邮报在一常设栏目中出了题为“古板之人ABC”的文章：“Nerd——古板之人，还需要任何解释吗?”许多在这个“ABC”中定义的术语是明显的美国特有词，如 hep,ick和 jazzy，正如 nerd的现行意思“古板之人”一样， nerd第三次出现于印刷品中又回到了1970年美国的 最新俚语中：“ Nurd［原文如此］带有令人不快的习惯或品质的人…一个没趣的人，一个‘饭桶。’”权威们对这两个蠢货--瑟斯博士所指的小动物和 格拉斯奇星期日邮报上的青少年俚语是否是同一个词持不同意见。有些专家宣称此处无语义联系，两个词的相似属偶然。其他人则坚持瑟斯博士是 nerd一词的始创者，且 nerd一词（意为“令人不快的滑稽小动物”）让1950年时五、六岁的孩子们学会并传给了比他们大些的兄姐。到1957年，作为青少年，他们把意思限定和专指他们当中最滑稽讨厌的家伙，即“古板守旧”的人
