Wimax, dongle and mashup. These words may sound wired to the technophobes, but they are just some examples of the colourful vocabulary of Europe’s fastest-growing language: Nerdic.

It is also called as ‘Geek Speak’, well but may be commonly known as Nerdic. Pixmania, one of Europe’s largest electronic internet retailers, on Friday said that nerdic is Europe’s “fastest growing vernacular”. They also said that this language claims, more than 100 new words added to the nerdic vocabulary in the past 12 months—which is more than three times the number the Oxford English Dictionary added to the English language.

Michael Brook, editor of T3 magazine, said: “The technology industry creates new words just as quickly as it comes up with new gadgets.” But he said it was unlikely the nerdic dictionary was growing rapidly because many words to describe older technology had disappeared.

Stuart Miles, editor of gadget website Pocket-Lint.co.uk, said: “Technology has revolutionised the way we speak. With so many words and phrases being created all the time it’s created a whole new way of communicating.” Ulric Jerome, managing director of Pixmania.com, said: “It’s exciting to see Nerdic bringing Europe together and by recognising Nerdic as an official language the UK will continue to help unite technology fans across Europe.”

Well here are some of the kinky terms in the Nerdictionary:

Alpha Geek: the most knowledgeable, technically proficient person in an office or work group;
Bandwidth: your ability to handle an excessive number of jobs at the same time.
Cobweb: a website that hasn’t been updated in a long, long time;
Cube Farm: an office packed with cubicles full of busy workers;
Doorstop: a computer no longer considered fast enough and only useful for keeping doors open.

But many of the Europeans reckon Nerdic has “the three core elements required to define a new language: words, phrases and pronunciation” and have applied to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office to reco-gnise it as an official language.
Well I think its now time to get back to school and start learining the Geek Language, Nerdic, which is only for the GEEKS…
