nerdier
Less socially smooth
Nerdier is the comparative form of nerdy—more intensely focused on intellectual or specialized interests, especially in areas like technology, gaming, comics, or science fiction.
The sequel went even nerdier with its references.
He's nerdier than anyone I know about obscure Star Wars trivia.
