What is worse to be called: Geek, Nerd or Dork

[gflores]

I would have to say nerd, just because I don't like that word.

 

[SackOfAllTrades]

the worst is being called an ATOTer

Nerd without a doubt. A geek is someone who just has a heavy interest in something, whether it be computers, sport or cars. A nerd encompasses the entire look, sound and attitude of a person i.e. sad and unnatractive looks and personality-wise. I'm not saying I think that about people but thats the impression most people get when they think 'nerd'. :beer:

 

[moshquerade]

i would say nerd, too.

[Jgtdragon]

Not sure, girls kept calling me a stud. haha

 

[MithShrike]

Nerd is definitely worse. I am proud of my geekhood but nerd... nah-uh.

 

[Kadarin]

Nerd. Being a geek is something you can be proud of.

Of course, both words are purely arbitrary, anyway.

 

[mpitts]

Nerd

next thing you'll say is that pocket protectors aren't cool anymore

Reminds me of this thread

 

[Richdog]

I'm a geek/jock and i'm proud of it, everyone needs a geeky side, it just shows youre not a moron and have serious interests. :beer:

EDIT - It may remind you of that thread as it uses the same words (shock, horror) but the question is totally different, lol.

[compudog]

Nerd.

 

[gflores]

Since it seems pretty one sided, I've added a new option: Dork

 

[FoBoT]

geek == gOOd

nerd == BaD

dork == dorky

Nerd. lol.

Geek just indicates strong interest. Road geeks, for example, spend unusally high amounts of time studying the interstate system and beyawtching about how the government needs to hire them to run the SHA's and stuff because they're not handling the situation appropriately. And they're damn proud of it. The same applies for computer geeks - and car geeks.

Nerd indicates the whole look and feel thing - white dress shirt, black slacks, pocket protector, taped glasses, along with high grades across the board.

Dork is a whale penis. Dork is DEFINITELY the worst (And no, it probably doesn't refer to your virility - whale penii are very long, but very floppy)

 

[alm4rr]

geek has been known to be associated with the word "chic"

Sick:disgust:

 

[idNut]

Dork is the only real insult on there. Considering it means 'dick', geek and nerd are mostly just adjectives. Geek = computer enthusiast, nerd = a specific field enthusiast.

 

[Lithium381]

geek is worse, dork and nerd are fine

which is why whales have a penis bone. duh. (oh, and stop citing it as a vestigial organ!)

You can only call me a geek if you're a geek. Its fine for other geeks to do you see. If you're not a geek yourself though and you call me a geek, well you're gonna' get hurt. </paradoy and humor>
