Actually, when I learned about the Worknik site, I thought it was a play on "nerdnik", which I thought was a word but discussed it with my wife and she says that it came from her father, so that's where I'm sure I fist heard it. It's a variant of "nerd." We've used it for years, and was surprised to not find it on your site. I Googled it and found an item on Etsy, a LED light, and a guy on myspace.

This word even appears in today's "In The Bleachers" comic: http://imgsrv.gocomics.com/dim/?fh=f939c2156dfa4a54b635d267dfcf8196&w=450.0
