Blerd A combination of the words 'Black' and 'Nerd'. In essence a black nerd. First used in this context by Dr. Turk on the TV show Scrubs. "I spent all weekend talking to my cousin who just so happens to be the world's biggest 'blerd'. {pause} That's a black nerd." Miss Melony MissMelony is a podcaster, actress and cosplayer who runs Chimerareaders.com a scifi & fantasy book club and co-hosts a Disney focused podcast "Let's get Down to Disney" (https://linktr.ee/Down2Disness) and has been a self described Blerd since 2011 when she first heard the word.
