Why is nerd even an insult?

Nerd as an insult basically means "you are smarter than me, and that makes me feel inferior so I must cover up my inadequacy by making fun of you".
Also, a lot of people don't know this, but the term "nerd" was actually coined from Dr. Seuss. Yup, you heard me right.

Nerd itself is a clique...that sometimes we have to stand up for them and yet they repay us with some negative stuff...

nerds and jocks are the main rivals in the school setting...both are cliques
