~Uncredited Nerd
Today's techies (nerds, geeks, dorks, etc), according to the New York Times Fashion section, are wearing flamboyantly colored, audaciously patterned socks. Socks, they say, are acceptable as "flair" in a male dominated environment because no one really notices - men, it seems, don't look at each others feet. Quote the Shawshank Redemption: "I mean, seriously, how often do you really look at a mans shoes?" (Or socks?)
A search for nerd socks seems to confirm the NYT article. Nerd socks are abundant. And some of them are very cool, not dorky at all!
Note: Hello Kitty socks are not dorky or nerdy at all!
Something else I learned: "gullible" is defined in the dictionary as "those who wear nerdy socks." Really!
