Re: What is a Geek?

Quote originally posted by cscgal ...
Geek is chic. A geek is someone well versed in the latest technology with a strong passion and understanding of math and science. A nerd is a socially inept person with thick glasses and a pocket protector. Not all geeks are nerds and not all nerds are geeks.
I lack the pocket protectors... Does that make me a nerdy geek or a geeky nerd (and proud of it either way)? :mrgreen:

Re: What is a Geek?

I'm a loser. I like to program instead of playing video games and watching TV.

Re: What is a Geek?

Are we trying to decide how we label ourselves or how we are labelled by others.

I reckon I went through a nerd phase, because I had a bowtie that wasn't black, played battleships in science class, and had a calculator that you could draw graphs on. It got so bad, that I used to argue Particle Physics in the Pub.

Now i'm a wannabe Geek, but don't have the T-Shirt or the wristbands to prove it. But I can still count in binary, and do triple integration, so there is hope yet.

Re: What is a Geek?

geek/nerd is a person who realises most of the people have less intelligence and deals with them accordingly which in turn makes himself relatively less social.And also ..acts normal and hence booring and hence less social. The face also reflects the intellect of a person and sadly..there is something about thinkers that it gives their face a property thats not very attractive mostly.this is my first message. i know what u guys r thinking...i dont think im a nerd.
