What would you say if someone calls you a nerd because you play video games?

[Borrowed Time]

I was just wondering what you guys would say if you were called a nerd by someone purely because you play video games.

"Naked tank thanks you..." (long story)

But seriously... geek/nerd/dork or any of the other common names that individuals toss around as insults don't affect me because I know it's true. And in all honesty, I'm glad that I'm exhibiting the characteristics of such to the point where they took notice and cared enough to express their findings.

"Ask me if I care."

Come now. Its just a name. At least you're good at something.

 

[Assassin Xaero]

But I am a nerd? Meh.

 

[Tartarga]

I'd say "I'm not a nerd because I play video games, i'm a nerd because I have the Pokemon theme song memorized."

 

[Branches]

Yep. I prefer geek, but Nerd will do.

 

[Ben Legend]

Do 'wrong' and 'naughty stuff' to them...

But, only one person says that to me, thats my girlfriend, and I reply with "and?" and then she looks at me awestruck.

I will give them a 4 as in Fuck You

 

[Booze Zombie]

"What is this, the 70's?"

 

[Hazy]

"Fuck if I care. I'm sure as hell not going to try and hide it. You feel you need to classify everyone to keep some kind of order? Fine, you're not getting my help when the zombie invasion comes around."

 

[Nanaki316]

I'd rather be a nerd than a preppy ***** or jock or anything like that so I'd be thankful and pity this person for being a stereotypical jackass.

I was just wondering what you guys would say if you were called a nerd by someone purely because you play video games.

I'd get defensive and say "fuck you, I'm a nerd for so many OTHER reasons!"

 

[Lazy Kitty]

"What? You don't play videogames? You do know you're a minority, right?"

 

[MiracleOfSound]

People always say it to me.

I smile and say 'yep'.

 

[I Resurection I]

I don't know anyone who reffers to nerd as plays video games, I normally get called a geek, and i normally say that i'm not a geek i'm a gamer.

 

[Eldritch Warlord]

I'd say that they obviously have somehow confused the unrelated terms "nerd" and "gamer" and suggest that they consult an online dictionary before they embarrass themselves further.

 

[Numb1lp]

I wouldn't care. Why should I? I embrace being a nerd. Everyone should know who they are; I am a nerd.

 

[Biosophilogical]

Tell them that there epidermis was showing.

I'll admit it. That made me lol.

OT: Either a) "Congratulations, you officially stated that I partake in a past-time common to the majority of my age group" OR b) "You're right. I am ... on the other hand, in today's society, you are in the smallest demographic, and therefore, you are the freak."

 

[Mcupobob]

Flip them off and move on with my life.

Also be confused for being called a nerd when everone I know plays video games.
