Are you a nerd?

“Oh yeah!” Dawn jumped up from the chair that she had been sitting on for the last 10 days. Her work on the basic structure of the vaccine has finally completed. For the past few days, she had only left her computer to do some test, or to go for toilet breaks or to do some more tests. She had been forced to be separated from her true love, and now she yearns dearly for it – her bed. She smiled her victorious smile and can’t help but kept on skipping in the empty office. Everyone else had left hours ago. 

“Are you ok?” Lucas, Dawn’s partner in crime, said. Even though they should be close, as they are partners, but reality is directly the opposite. For some unobvious reason, they kept on stabbing each other’s nerves and back. Eventually, they got used to be back-stabbed at any moment. Despite their horrible relationship, they are actually very efficient and fast paced when working together, most people suspects that it’s because of the competition among themselves, but maybe there’s some other reasons, who knows? I don’t know.
She saw the face that wakes up every hatred cell in her brain, but the happiness from completing the phase one diagnose in such a short time is far too great for the hatred to win. She ran to him and hung on him tightly, “I did it!” she screamed, “It’s complete!”
“Are you high?” he pushed her away gently and straightened his dorky glasses, “what is complete?”
“The new vaccine,” she wanted to calm down, but perhaps the insufficient sleep made her ‘restless’. And so she continued jumping around.
“Cool, I can finally start work,” he turned to the computer and looked at the report, “impressive, I have already found three wrong words from the first line.”
She stopped her movement immediately and turned to him sharply, “What do you mean wrong words?”
“See for yourself,” he moved aside and gestured her to go to the computer.
She quickly approached the monitor, and saw some misspelled words… oops…
“What? That is just a few words,” she turned to him and glared at him fiercely, “do you know that it’s really unfair to me that you have that big dorky glasses?”
 He smiled smugly, and pushed his glasses, “maybe you should get one too, I can introduce you to my doctor.”
“Thanks, but no thanks,” she turned back to the computer and corrected the words, “Such nerd-ness suits only you.”
“Aw, that’s so sweet of you,” he sat on a couch.
“Idiot,” she mumbled, and she continued checking the report. Then suddenly a phrase intruded her mind.

She winced and rolled her eyes and said, “That, is, lame.”
“Not bad for a nerd!” he yelled from behind.
Do you know what is that phrase?
