The term 'uncool sorts' refers to four different types of people: dips, DWEEBS, NERDS, and GEEKS. Dips are people who are considered to be socially inept or awkward. DWEEBS are people who are seen as overly serious or nerdy. NERDS are people who are highly intelligent but lack social skills. Finally, GEEKS are people who are passionate about a particular subject or hobby. All four terms are used to describe people who are not considered to be cool or popular.
