What is the difference between a geek and a nerd?
I had this idiot question somewhere in the back of my mind.
I think those two are somewhat different words.
The Urban Dictionary defines a Geek as:
The people you pick on in high school and wind up working for as an adult.
And the same Dictionary defines Nerd as:
One whose IQ exceeds his weight.
Geek is not to be confused with Nerd. A geek does not have to be smart, a Geek is someone who is generally not athletic, and enjoys Video Games; Comic Books; being on the internet etc.
I wonder if that is true. 😛
