nps (nerdery per sentence)

The ratio of words that are associated with nerdery to all the words in a sentence. Ludicrously high for those who talk about MMORPGS, string theory, computers or obscure sci-fi novels in open conversation.

Example:

A normal sentence
The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. nps: 0.0

A typical post on slashdot.com
I recompiled my linux kernel while reading about Steve Jobs and playing WoW when farming gold. nps ~0.5
