Poindexter is an internet slang term used to describe someone, typically with a nerdy or geeky appearance. This term is often used to poke fun or make fun of individuals who are considered intelligent or intellectuals but lack social skills or are socially awkward.

Examples:

1. Sarah’s new coworker always wears glasses, has messy hair, and constantly talks about scientific theories. Everyone in the office jokingly refers to him as Poindexter because of his nerdy look and lack of social grace.

2. During a gaming session, John, who is known for his vast knowledge of video games but isn’t good at interacting with others, kept giving long-winded explanations for every strategy. He instantly became the target of the others’ teasing, and they playfully called him Poindexter in the chat to poke fun at him.
