Geek or Nerd

I was wondering about this Geek/nerd thing.

1. Is there a difference ?
2. What is it ?
3. Which are you?

;D


I

1)maybe
2)nerds get laid and geeks dont? or the other way around? I dont know
3)I slept with my MBA the day i got it and already my friends call me an apple fanboy. I would call myself a geek though.

1) yes.

2a) geek: someone who bites the heads off of chickens for others' amusement - also someone who has an above average focus on something not quite mainstream (music geek, computer geek, star wars geek, etc)

2b) nerd: someone extremely smart, typically not very "normal" in social terms.

3) geek (music, car, video game mostly)

As eric pointed out, a geek is somebody who is simply really knowledgeable about certain things, whereas a nerd is the stereotypical dork with dark rimmed glasses and a pocket protector (i.e. Steve Urkel).

I would definitely call myself a geek on various subjects.

I agree with Eric.

Seriously???? that's a little scary

the only day i'll sleep with an MBA is if my girlfriend gets her masters in business administration.

I'm a geek I guess... computers and cars...

^^ Lol!!!

Put me down as a Geek then, I am knowledgeable about stuff, but find making friends with women easy

Anyone who can make a time machine is the shiz! Urkel's my hero! Sign me up for the NERDS

yes seriously. I guess thats why the same MBA is now in the apple store.

i dont know if i would qualify for either of those categories.

Kilted which one are you?

I'm a geek, I geek out on a lot of stuff, but I am pretty normal socially and do just fine with the ladies.

Same here.

I didn't know there was a difference. As far as where I am, do I really have to answer?

A geek knows what a quantum fusion reactor is... A nerd knows how it works

Haha punkr0x0r, I tried giving you rep for that, but couldn't.

As for me, I'm kind of both in certain areas.

HAhaha thanks!

I'm more of a geek.. In many areas.. Computers, music, art, etc..

I'm a geek. Now, where is that chicken??

by those rules I'd be more of a geek.
