AboutWhat does the meme depict?
The Idiot Nerd Girl meme features an image macro of a teenage girl wearing thick-rimmed glasses. Her left hand is raised to her face, displaying the word 'NERD' written on her palm. The template typically has a caption at the top referencing geek culture, while the bottom caption humorously reveals a misunderstanding or incorrect statement about the topic. This format is similar to other advice animals like Technologically Impaired Duck and Musically Oblivious 8th Grader.
