Whereas geeks bite the heads off chickens; pretty clear who got the short end of THAT stick. :P

Working off definition number THREE, however, I personally distinguish between geeks as enthusiasts and nerds as knowledgeable. Computer geeks use and enjoy computers a lot but may know little about them; computer nerds can build and recite detailed histories of them. A nerd may thus also be a geek (and usually is, though occasionally people become very knowledgeable about subjects in which they have little personal interest,) but a geek is not necessarily a nerd. Note: My personal usage of a given word does not necessarily correspond to the accepted or defined usage. ;)

Per my response to StarBecca, that sounds more geeky than nerdy. - 14/10/2011 11:37:01 AM 408 Views
