turbo nerd ==>
computer geek
<jargon> (Or "turbo nerd", "turbo geek") One who eats
(computer) bugs for a living. One who fulfils all the
dreariest negative stereotypes about hackers: an asocial,
malodourous, pasty-faced monomaniac with all the personality
of a cheese grater. The term cannot be used by outsiders
without implied insult to all hackers; compare
black-on-black usage of "nigger". A computer geek may be
either a fundamentally clueless individual or a proto-hacker
in larval stage.
See also Alpha Geek, propeller head, clustergeeking,
geek out, wannabee, terminal junkie, spod, weenie.
