It is great that war is so terrible... Otherwise, we may get to fond of it...

In many online video games (especially MMORPGs), the term nuke is generally used to describe a spell which is capable of dealing a great amount of damage to its target. More specifically, the term is applied to a player character's most damaging spell or spell-like ability.

A nerd is very similar to a geek, but with more RAM and a faster modem. Nerds often find geeks dull because geeks don't spend enough time talking about computers.

from what i can tell nerd and geek aren't the same. A nerd is anyone uncool, normally a geeky person interested in computers, technology etc. However geeks are nerds but are more intelligent. Geeks and very clever and are very good with technology. Nerds are wanna be geeks but aren't intelligent enough.
Thats my take on it at any rate.

Nerds and Geeks are not the same thing!
Geeks are heavily interested in their field and know allmost everything about it (example: Star Trek Geeks can name all hobbies of Picard)
Nerds are like Geeks, but their main focus in life is their field (example: Star Trek nerds have no other communication-subject than Picards hobbies).

We use fluff in the US. Though generally, it is used as an adjective, i.e. fluffer girl. Take that as you will :)
