nerd pack

nerd pack

1. Any group of people who are similar in their social awkwardness or ineptitude and obsession or preoccupation with something not generally popular with the majority of people. I had a lot of varied interests in high school. I played a few different sports, I smoked pot with some of the outsiders, and I hung out with a nerd pack who were really into video games.
2. A thin plastic sheath that fits into the breast pocket of one's shirt to hold pens and other small instruments and protect the pocket from stains or tears. I know I look pretty doofy with my nerd pack in my shirt, but I need so many different colored pens throughout the day that it really is an essential part of my outfit.
