Nerdfighter

A person who is not made of flesh and blood, but is, in fact, made of awesome.
Started by brothers John and Hank Green, as a part of the "Brotherhood 2.0" project of 2007, where John and Hank would communicate only through video blogs for an entire year. (youtube.com/vlogbrothers)
The signature move for nerdfighters is Star Trek hands (you know, the funky fingers).
Most nerdfighters desperately want to live in an imaginary (or is it?) place called "Nerdfighteria" (or Nerdfightaria, depending on spelling).
(from An Abundance of Katherines, a book written by John Green)
"The fans of Brotherhood 2.0 call themselves nerdfighters. A tightknit and extraordinarily dedicated community, the nerdfighters have raised tens of thousands of dollars for charities and political campaigns, taken over the most discussed pages of youtube, and written hundreds of letters to Merriam Webster lobbying for the inclusion of the word "nerdfighter" into the dictionary."
Nerdfighters often raise money for charity, styleized as 'fighting against worldsuck'. They also portray themselves as nerds, and seem to dislike the Popular People, known to them as 'decepticons'.
Nerdfighters are most easily identified by their inside Jokes, including:
*DFTBA (acronym for Don't forget to be awesome)
* Jokes! (used instead of the word cool)
*...In my pants! (all purpose sentance ending)
Nerdfighter Fashion consists of T-shirts with 'Nerdy' slogans, and/or Nerdfighter inside jokes, Awesome nerd glasses, and, of course, pants.
Nerdfighter interests are, naturally, anything pertaining to the vlogbrothers, and as such their musical tastes are anything by Hank. Or random Trock/Wizard Rock/Whatever songs, as Nerdfighters do have some overlap with the aformentioned music scenes. Sometimes. It really depends.
