**POLL**Which is worse?

let me explain my definition of both.

A "geek" is someone who specializes in one particular field of interest. Meaning there could be a Star Wars geek, a Simpsons geek, etc. etc. They know EVERYTHING about one thing and not much about others.

A "nerd" is someone who knows a lot of information about a lot of different subjects, usually math, science and computers. Usually a nerd will be at least a little more socialable.

so therefore, i believe being a "geek" is worse.

hahaha...😀

When I think of nerd...I think of somebody like my roommate who is uptight and dresses funny. When I think of a geek, I think of a few of my friends who are typically smart and cool.

Thus...Geek>Nerd

And in addition, dorks are those who make random statements that really have nothing to do with what is being said at that point in time. Or, they do have something to do with the converstation, but it is very random and obscure. I'll use HumblePie as an example (sorry bud 😉):

He met the girl in the salad shop and when they exchanged their names, he said his name was "Tim, or Mit backwards."

Thats a very obscure way to introduce yourself, but hell, most girls I have met at least find my humor (my dorkiness) funny :laugh:
