What Is a Nerdette?

Originally, I thought of defining what a Nerdette is in the sidebar, but I felt like a nice large space (such as this whole page) would be required to adequately make a good description.

Urban Dictionary says something along the lines of that a Nerdette is just a female nerd.

A NftN Nerdette, on the other hand, is much more than just that.  Yes, she is a female nerd.  But she's more substantial.  A NftN Nerdette is:

  • Classy and ladylike--think Audrey Hepburn!--and respectful of others and their opinions
  • Chic and posh--not just in fashion or dress, but also with words and culture
  • Witty: she'll either make you think or laugh until your sides split, or both (even at the same time)
  • Fangirly: c'mon, admit it--you're a big fan of something and like to gush over it!  So do we, and we're proud of it.
Embrace the Nerdettity (pronounced: ner-deh-tih-tee)! :D
