Amazing the things you just didn't know...

Dr. Suess coined the word "nerd." The term originated in the 1950 book If I Ran the Zoo.

From the book: "And then, just to show them, I'll sail to Ka-Troo. And Bring Back an IT-KUTCH, a PREEP and a PROO, a NERKLE, a NERD, and a SEERSUCKER, too!"

Just for this, and for many other reasons, Dr. Seuss is now on the list to become an upcoming member of our Dork Royalty section!
