nerd knob n.
[Cisco] A command in a complex piece of
software which is more likely to be used by an extremely
experienced user to tweak a setting of one sort or another - a
setting which the average user may not even know exists. Nerd knobs
tend to be toggles, turning on or off a particular, specific,
narrowly defined behavior.
