erinja:Plus if you pronounce farti with the right Esperanto accent, the sound is far from the sound of the English "fart".Except for the rolled 'r' it's not that far, unless you're from out east, maybe, where a fart is a "wickid faht".

Nevertheless, the similarity doesn't faze me personally. For me there is a nice, if loose, resonance with "fartin' around". I could see "fartin'" in English slipping into having the meaning "faring".

That usage is pretty much limited to New England, and it's not even as widespread as it used to be there. When I was growing up, all of my Massachusetts cousins used it incessantly. But I barely heard it at all when I lived up there for 3 years.

Back to the nerd issue though... we have multiple words to convey the multiple means of nerd in english... why not the same is esperanto. (Am I spelling that right? Sorry if not.) We have nerd, dork, and geek just to name a few and I think that while they all basically mean the same thing they each have slightly different interpretations. Geek is more intellectual wheras nerd is more obsessive and dork is more socially awkward. To me anyway.

Therefore my suggestion for nerd would be "malmojosulo".

In the beginning friki allways was an insult but the time and the internet became almost to everyone worldwide in frikis so I usually say that is friki not to be friki...
Ĝis, Novatago

trojo:So I was thinking about this topic the other day. I decided while there are different types of nerds, geeks, dorks, whatever, there is one thing they all have in common. It's not that they are all super smart-- plenty of people are smart without being nerdy, and there are nerds who are not smart at all (e.g. Napoleon Dynamite). It's not that they are all into computers either-- some nerds are more into books or chess or Harry Potter or *ahem* Esperanto. No... whether it's by choice or genetics, what they all have in common is that they have mannerisms, lifestyles and/or interests that are directly contrary to what our enlightened modern culture considers "cool", "hip" and "with it". Nerds are uncool, unhip, and, uh... without it.Hhm. Recently I tripped over that Nerdcore for Life video project. It shows some Nerds who try to explain their nerdness with Hip Hop rhymes.
Therefore my suggestion for nerd would be "malmojosulo".
muenchen.nerdnite.com makes some special events where some referends make a presentation about a non-mainstream topic which they are very passionate and at what they rise a lot of expertise.
What about "pasiulo" or "fervorulo"?

Another option might be otako, based on the Japanese word otaku.
