1. knurd

   The Discworld is the fictional setting for all of Terry Pratchett's Discworld fantasy novels. It consists of a large disc (complete with edge-of-the-world drop-off and consequent waterfall) resting on the backs of four huge elephants which are in turn standing on the back of an enormous turtle, named Great A'Tuin (similar to Chukwa or Akupara from Hindu mythology) as it slowly swims through space. The Disc has been shown to be heavily influenced by magic and, while Pratchett gave it certain similarities to planet Earth, he also created his own system of physics for it. Pratchett first explored the idea of a disc-shaped world in the novel Strata (1981).

1. knurd

   1. [RPI] Renssaleer Polytechnic Institute local slang roughly equivalent to the positive sense of geek, referring to people who prefer technical hobbies to socializing.2. In older usage at RPI, the term signified someone new to college life, fresh out of high school, and wet behind the ears.An IEEE Spectrum article (4/95, page 16) once derived ‘nerd’ in its variant form ‘knurd’ from the word ‘drunk’ backwards; this etymology was common at RPI. Though it is commonly confused with nerd, it appears these words have separate origins (compare the kluge/kludge pair).
