          That’s neither here nor there and sidesteps the point. Also, depending on how you define normies and nerds, it’s a bit silly. You can’t imagine a random person being worked up by being called names online. I mean, okay, if you say so.

      Yes, it means layperson, but with derogatory cense. It is like using the n-word to describe black people (though not as extreme). If you mean average user, just say average user, unless you really mean to use derogatory term, that is.
