Nerd Pride Day, or Geek Pride Day, is an initiative which claims the right of every person to be a nerd or a geek. Of Spanish origin ("día del orgullo friki" in Spain), it is celebrated nowadays among Spanish frikis (an equivalent of geeks and nerds).[1]

This day is celebrated on May 25 since 2006, celebrating the premiere of the first Star Wars movie in 1977.

Origins
In 2006, this day was celebrated for the first time all over Spain and on the Internet, thanks to the publicity given by some media as:

Salas, Javier. "Comecocos y mangas toman la calle: la revancha de los frikis", Telecinco, 2006-5-26. Retrieved on 2006-05-26.
Perez, Javier. "Orgullo friki", El Mundo, 2006-5-26. Retrieved on 2005-05-26.
Ramos, David. "25 de mayo: Día del Orgullo Friki", 20minutos, 2006-5-25. Retrieved on 2005-05-25.
The biggest concentration took place in Madrid, where 300 Geeks demonstrated their pride together with a human pacman.

so...

HAPPY NERD/GEEK PRIDE DAY

Sometimes I try to deny it, but a guy I barely knew yestrday randomly said I was a nerd... awww who am I kidding, EVERYONE eventually says I'm a nerd... I need a shirt or something.

On other forums because I am one of those rare female nerds, people question my gender...

I actually saw someone walking down the street today celebrating this day... or he was just a nerdish-looking guy that thought it would be cool to walk through the city wearing an Octoberfest outfit carrying an Oriental umbrella... he did say "Hi!" to me, so at least he was nice
