Believe it or not, this track is actually a work of lyrical genius. The characterization of the "Nerd" and the "Geek" is beyond impressive, with each character conforming to the stereotypes of their respective subcultures while still being original with its clever lyrics and wordplay. By incorporating common phrases and references to geek and nerd culture, Rhett and Link simultaneously pay homage to and parody the groups of people portrayed in this piece. As a child, I was drawn to this song by its catchy melody and addicting flow, but as I grew older, I only became more impressed by Rhett and Link's advanced skills in this modern hip-hop masterpiece.

I have to say the diss about "I haven't met a woman of a high enough caliber, the only dates you have are on your Google calendar" implies that, yes, the nerd has dated plenty of times. The nerd knew that the relationship wasn't going to work out so he let it sail past; however, the geek never had the chance to show maturity because, as nerd said, the only dates he has are on his google calendar.
