So saith NYT on-line
regrettably::: noting only for females in science, and not generalizing to MAWGS on game shows
I do like the phrases. I also note the wording in the body of the article: Has "meme" has become part of everyday jargon? Perhaps to balance off, we will hear of fewer "parameters".

I predict the only self-identifed geeks and nerds we see on SyndieBAM will continue to be gorgeous young women.

I have a T-shirt from about a decade ago with that phrase, "It's chic to be geek." And the "Meme" meme is obviously spreading, as successful memes do.
