Even today I think nerd still involves some kind of obsession though.

Anyone could be into LOTR, especially after the movies came out. But it's kinda nerdy to have heated discussions whether or not leaving out Tom Bombadil was the right call (it wasn't!).

Definitely. Thanks for being the one taking the bait. ;)

I've seen someone on a dating app describe herself as a "gym nerd". It hurt my soul a bit

Best case scenario is that she's really into the science behind physical training. In reality she probably just owns a pelaton.

Yes! Thats a nerd. We nerds used to joke that those soccer fans who knew every team and player, and their strengths, those were still nerds even if they wouldnt admit it.
