You know you've achieved nerdhood when...

[Fluffy Cat]

...When you photoshop your face onto a formerly popular tv geek/nerd character after having dressed up as them for halloween, post it on facebook for laughs and then get into a legalese-type argument with your equally geek/nerd older brother about the relative geek/nerd quotient of committing such an act and whether it violates the George Lucas/Gene Roddenberry Accord of 1988 or whether the Carter/JMS/Wright Decision of 2001 is applicable*. 

Bonus points if it then deteriorates into a debate over the literal, popular, or just plain fanciful definition of whether one is a "geek" or a "nerd" and just how much high school angst one must have been subject to in order to qualify for either label.

Honorary Mention for the utter dismissal of SG-1** for the inclusion of Ricky D and culminating in all of one's respective friends responding to said discussion with the arbitrary and completely frelled-up label "losers with nothing better to do" in regards to both parties.

... completely frelled-up label ...

When you understand what "frelled-up" means, and that it was being used before everybody jumped on the bandwagon with "frak".

When you understand what "frelled-up" means, and that it was being used before everybody jumped on the bandwagon with "frak". 

When you understand what "frelled-up" means and know where it came from despite having not watched the show. 

When you know that frak (originally frack) came from the original series and not the new one, and knew what it meant even if you could never get into the remake.

Is this for real?  And, if so.....did anyone actually EAT anything at that wedding?

When you make what you think is a fairly easy to get history-related joke and have to explain it 4 times before someone other than you laughs ... sort of.

Or state that you though something was common knowledge only to have someone look at you and say "Well I don't know it."

I swear I really did think it was common knowledge.

Yep, sure is! Our guests thought it was quite amusing, we had 2 tables of scientists there too who found it particulary nerdy. As far as I know, all the food was gobbled up. If I could ever figure out how to post a picture, I would show you how it was presented! The bridal table was Epstein-Barr Virus, cos it's the kissing disease
We also had Sacromyces cerevisiae which is the yeast used to make Rum and Beer, we put all the drinkers on that table

When you don't really drink alcohol very much but you still want to do the original BSG series drinking game because it's supposedly so deadly you're sloshed before half the show is over!

I never, ever made it even halfway...and we were usually just drinking beer.  It gets way out of hand with anything harder.

Alternatly, you name your chold something nice and normal (Karl) but you work at a ren faire and so your baby grows thinking his name IS Mordrid because it fits into your character. (Not me!)
