The important point here is that nerd geeks are neither athletes nor intellectuals per se. Neither fish nor foul.
If comedians, they are usually less funny than pathetic.
Jerry Lewis, one of the great exceptions, more funny, and brilliant in a slapstick athletic way, than pathetic.
They are rather like drone bees.
Nerds were often given wedgies just like this one, just for fun, in the 50s and 60s, usually by one or more of the athletes in the school.
It was a form of wholesome NERD GEEK SHAMING which I whole heartedly think should be brought back hard.
This post is dedicated to Camille Paglia, better at improvisation than thinking.
