knurd
(jargon) | knurd
n.
1. [RPI] Renssaleer Polytechnic Institute local slang roughly equivalent to
the positive sense of geek, referring to people who prefer technical
hobbies to socializing.
2. In older usage at RPI, the term signified someone new to college life,
fresh out of high school, and wet behind the ears.
An IEEE Spectrum article (4/95, page 16) once derived ‘nerd’ in its variant
form ‘knurd’ from the word ‘drunk’ backwards; this etymology was common at
RPI. Though it is commonly confused with nerd, it appears these words
have separate origins (compare the kluge/kludge pair).
