Ross

I believe the answer is:

nerd

(Other definitions for nerd that I've seen before include "Student who is ridiculed for studying excessively" , "one that's overly cerebral" , "Geek, anorak (sl.)" , "Irritating person (slang)" , "In slang, a foolish or uninteresting person" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
