View Full Version : Nerd or Geek are you?
People out there....call people who hang on (chat)Forums
"Geeks" or "Nerds"
Is this a correct assumption of the members here?

Perhaps if it is a board dedicated to 1953 train timetables they may have a point.
However, I am a tad suspicious of people who have nothing better to do than criticise how other people spend their spare time. It would suggest that their lives are not exactly brimfull of activity. :)

The truth is I have no idea what either of the two exactly are. I just presumed they were derogatory and I have heard the kids use them in similar fashion.
It would be cooler if "they" refered to people on Forums as
"Groovy Soul Diggers"
"Zone Drones"
"Language Warpers"
"Social Analists"

I been told it's not right to spend so much time on a puter, but this is from people who often say they are bored :blink:
So it's not right to be on puter and have fun, but it IS right to sit there wasting your life being bored? :blink:
People are odd :lol:

Geek:
a person who may be very smart yet lacks the social graces of those who are considered cool , a "computer geek" is someone who spends too much time on the computer and has no social life
Nerd:
Someone so unfortunate as to believe that all conversations might productively revolve around computing and IT issues. Interestingly, only a nerd might know that the word derives from the 1950 Dr. Seuss book 'If I Ran the Zoo' from which: "And then, just to show them, I'll sail to Ka-Troo - And Bring Back an It-Kutch, a Preep and a Proo - A Nerkle, a Nerd, and a Seersucker, too!" See Geek.

I've been called a "cool nerd" and Good Will Hunting by friends.
I was always a math wiz but was always interested in sports, music, and art.
When was young I could give a shit about going into a technology field and instead learned to play 4 musical instruments.
Very weird.
Ironically, I would be embarrased if my friends found out I posted here on occasion. I only do it while doing something else (most times) but stil....... :dry:
