What is Nerdfighters?

Nerds who fight, usually against popular people. This term originated from the videoblog Brotherhood 2.0. John Green, one of the two participants in the videoblog, noticed a game called Nerd Fighters at an airport. Eventually, the viewers of the videoblog began being dubbed nerdfighters.

Nerdfighters are considered to be "made of awesome" by John, Hank (the other participant in the videoblog), and other nerdfighters. The nerdfighters often send in pictures of nerdfighter related activities to the videoblog, such as nerdfighter embroidered pillows. It is unknown what will happen to nerdfighting when the videoblog ends.

As an adjective:
"Bob is pretty nerdfighter."

As a noun:
"Bob is a nerdfighter."

As a verb:
"Yeah, I totally nerdfought my way through that."

As a group:
"The nerdfighters killed Bob's family."

Nerdfighters - what is it?

Nerdfighter: Any dedicated John and Hank Green fan who knows that fighting for nerds, not against them is the right way to live. They enjoy being uncontrollably excited and they know that growing up is the option, not growing old. Tuesday and Fridays aren't just days to them, they are days when they "Don't Forget To Be Awesome!"

If you see a person who is uncontrollably excited about the price of soup and they make two Spock signs with their hands and place their arms across each other, they are a Nerdfighter.

Nerdfighters - what does it mean?

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).

Nerdfighters will be happy to know that the VlogBrothers are going on a "Tour de Nerdfighting" at some point in 2008. (papertowns.com)

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."

*note: In case you couldn't tell, the term "nerd" is not used dispargingly, but is rather used as a source of pride. If one is a nerd, they should be proud!

CM: Whoa! You got a hundred on your AP World History test!
BW: Yeah, I am such a nerdfighter.
(generally used as a noun, though it can be used as an adjective : nerdfighterish)

Nerdfighters - meaning

Dedicated follower of the vlogbrothers.
Nerdfighters are proud to be Nerds and fight to decrease WorldSuck.

Instead of being made of bones and organs, they are physically made of awesome.

Can be easily identified by the use of the word jokes.

The opposite of a Nerdfighter is a Decepticon.

"I think that person is humming Accio Deathly Hallows."

"They must be a Nerdfighter!"

Nerdfighters

People who are made of awesome that decrease world suck. John and Hank Green are the founders. It all started with Brotherhood 2.0. The name Nerdfighter may sound like a person who fights nerds but they are actually nerds fighting against world suck(the bad stuff in the world). They are the most awesome people you will ever meet. Some popular nerdfighter phrases are DFTBA(Don't forget to be awesome), so jokes! and French the Llama!

Person 1: French the Llama! You watch the Vlogbrothers on Youtube too?
Person 2: Yep! They are totally awesome!
Person 1: I am so glad to find a fellow Nerdfighter!

Nerdfighters

A nerd who fights (against the decepticons -- also known as popular people).

One who is, instead of being made of organs and tissues and whatnot, made of awesome.

The word originated in John and Hank Green's video log projected, called vlogbrothers. While John was in an airport one day (curse those grey speckled walls), he saw a video game called Nerd Fighters.

Thus, the legacy of nerdfighting began.

Nerdfighters, we fight with our brains.
Nerdfighters, we bring the frakkin' pain.
