Rice University is the home of our Texan nerdy brainiacs. They had a cheer like that one:
Cosine! Secant! Tangent! Sine! 3.14159!
My favorite one was from back in the days (no longer with us) when the University of Texas would stomp Rice into stubble regularly in football. They'd proffer the following from the other side of the field to all the cheering Longhorns:
That's alright! That's OK! You're gonna work for us some day!"

I like it.Only thing is I was somewhat disappointed not seeing e to the i pi in your cheer song.

My condolences. I went to Caltech, and we didn't sing nerdy things like that. Of course, we didn't have NCAA teams to cheer for either.

I played Star Wars CCG for a while in high school, which is definitely the nerdiest thing I've done. I work with technology, but am not a gadget guy. I'm stereotypically nerdy on the edges, but for example am a decent athlete and played college sports.
I guess I draw the line on nerdiness on one's ability to convey their interest in a way that doesn't turn off most people not involved in that particular activity. For example, telling someone you collect die states of a particular coin by showing minuscule differences between coins using a 10x loupe is probably going to make them think you are weird. If you instead briefly describe the minting process and show some big die cracks, I think you have a chance of keeping their interest.

Here's a warning parable for coin collectors...
