your flondon is calling someone / being called a nerd (derogatory or affectionate)
but "nerd" doesn't exist yet. it won't for about 40 more years iirc.
some other suggestions my flondon friends have given is "Skilamalink" (has more to do with like, outsmarting/tricking people though), "Wonk" (it's a 1920s term though, and also north american, but makes some hand waviness bc devils) and "Bluestocking" (unfortunatly has sexist roots that try to throw down intellectual women, but it's my favourite in terms of 'you're someone who hangs out in book clubs and dresses subpar')
