geek OR nerd ?

The word geek is a slang term, with different meanings ranging from "a computer expert or enthusiast" to "a carnival performer who performs sensationally morbid or disgusting acts".

With a general pejorative meaning of :
"a peculiar or otherwise dislikable person,
especially one who is perceived to be overly intellectual".
This word comes from English dialect geek, geck: fool, freak; from Low German geck, from Middle Low German. The root geck still survives in Dutch and Afrikaans gek: crazy.....






Geeks have a special Geek Code to let other geeks know what type they are. Example:
GED/J d-- s:++>: a-- C++(++++) ULU++ P+ L++ E---- W+(-) N+++ o+ K+++ w--- O- M+ V-- PS++>$ PE++>$ Y++ PGP++ t- 5+++ X++ R+++>$ tv+ b+ DI+++ D+++ G+++++ e++ h r-- y++**

They tend to be male, between 10 and 30, they wear jeans and t-shirts, have loads of gadgets with them at all times and speak techno jargon.

There are the occasional female nerds....  


If your not a Geek, you might be a Nerd:

The stereotypical nerd is intelligent but socially and physically awkward.
