...you a) while watching House on TV, shout diagnoses at the TV, b) have never even been to med school, and c) are usually right.

Acutal quote: "She's got a fucking cardiac tamponade! Hold her down and stick the fucking needle through her pericardium and drain it out, you dumb fucks!", shouted at the top of my lungs while Manda was at work.

*hangs head in mock-shame*

...you can do the above for not only "real-life" medical dramas, but also for the sci-fi/fantasy universe of your choice.   
...you taught your kid to identify the planets in the solar system, a few major moons, and simply explain concepts of orbit, rotation, and parallax before she could read.
...the IT guy at work comes to you for advice about computer problems.
...you've ever gone to your boss with questions based on odd, esoteric information you've somehow stored, like the fact that ibuprofen wasn't around in 1953 - it was invented in 1969. (yes, dammit!  It was important.)

DUDE SANYA DON'T PUT YER HANGUPS ON ME

...you put up a "you might be a nerd if..." on a bulletin board.

...you point out the irony to others on the bulletin board.

...you add a wikipedia link to the word "irony".

...if your fictional characters are significantly better dressed and looking then you.

...if you know what the word 'aggro' means.
...if you learned to touch-type at high speed not from a class or teaching software, but from playing a MUD.
...if you own a t-shirt designed by a webcomic artist. Double if the t-shirt is humorous. Triple if only people who read the webcomic would get the joke.

3 out of 3! Win!

...if you've ever used win to refer to anything that is not actually a contest, e.g. "Daft Punk is win"
