Nerdlinger is a word sometimes used to describe a fan of Futurama, or sometimes a geek in general. The term originally appeared in an episode of The Simpsons, and has later been used by both the Futurama crew to describe their fans, and by the fans to describe themselves.
History
The term first appears in the 1993 The Simpsons episode Homer Goes to College, written by Conan O'Brien. In the episode, the main character Homer Simpsons has to go through college again, being extremely underqualified for his job at a nuclear power plant. There, he befriends a group of geeks. In the episode, on a TV show, a jock calls a nerd "nerdlinger" - "Your Bra Bomb better work, Nerdlinger!"[1]
