It's Yiddish. "Timid" and "weak-willed" come up a lot, though I had more of the "nerd" aspect in mind. Is there an entire Salon.com article comparing the Nerd to the Nebbish?
Why yes, there is .
I do think it is fair to call someone timid whose idea of social is telling a recruiter about a time they solved a conflict. Ha! (Though I wouldn't call you schleppy - more Yiddish! - alla George Constanza.)

Hahahahaha
Although, to be fair, I didn't say social, I said personable. That is, even though I'm introverted, I can come across as being socially not-inept and possibly even extroverted if necessary.

I have eaten about double my usual amount of fruits and veggies today (and I was already trying to eat 3-5 servings per day). I have also eaten two doughnuts, however, so it might be a wash. : )

I'll try to remember. (I'm the only one changing title bars with any regularity, so if you hate what's up there at any given point it's almost certainly my fault.)

That's kind of like walking into the Church Office Building and exclaiming that you're "not really a fan of Ezra Taft Benson."
