Nerd Snipe

I love learning new slang words and recently my new favourite word is nerd sniped. Here’s an example:

I was once thrifting with a few friends in Williamsburg earlier this year, when a pair of Bell Bottom pants caught my friends eye.

The bell bottoms were from the early 1900s and from the US Navy.

I then told my friend about the history of flared pants and their origins in the US and British Navy. In other words, I got nerd sniped by these pair of pants.

Getting nerd sniped is when you present a problem to another person and they become focused on that problem to the exclusion of everything else.

Fashion and menswear is one of the topics that nerd snipe me.
