I always thought they meant the same..... BTW, I believe you can be a nerd/geek with knowledge about other stuff too, take guns or RPG's for example....

Pvt_Dancer Posted October 3, 2002 Share Posted October 3, 2002 No... nerd and geek are independent. I take nerd to mean anyone who is totally obsessed with knowing everything about all manner of things. Like anyone who can tell you precise scientific processes behind anything. Thats a nerd. I think of nerds having this knowledge but tending to keep a little quiet about it most of the time. They may be a little shy... introverted. Geeks know everything about one or a few things ... obsessively. They tend to spout off too... like people who consistently quote the same old boring lines from Monty Python movies.... or perhaps argue over the rules during a Warhammer match. They tend to be, in my mind, too obsessed with one area and also tend to be slightly skewed socially. Not rejects or anything but not quite as knowledgable about social norms and intricacies. Hehehehe.... those are just my own personal schemas for those words though. I believe geek was originally a word for a carnival showman who bit the heads off of poultry?

Pvt_Dancer Posted October 3, 2002 Share Posted October 3, 2002 Hehehehe.... well we can all be geeky about things from time to time. No shame in it. What kind of angers me is that it is thought of as a negative thing by certain people. Take the jocks at my school for instance... total superiority complex. They wear "the right" clothes and date "the right" people blah blah blah.... well they also watch espn 24/7 and know all sorts of statistics about players and games and world series.... I dunno. Sounds like a geek to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
