Nerd: generally knowlegeable about computers, SCI-FI, does not care too much about appearance - though tries a little, can talk to girls when necessary

Geek: an expert in one tiny area of computers, SCI-FI fanatic, owns action figures, cannot talk to a girl

Dork: aka "Gamerdork", can play computer games and get them running, believes game knowledge is same as computer knowledge, can usually talk to girls, cannot talk to geeks/nerds and sound smart

Other: girls, metrosexuals, jocks, swamp thing

You have nerd and geek reversed. Geeks are the generally all around knowledgeable people; while Nerd's are the antisocial people who know very little but try to portray themselves as being smarter.

I don't think those definitions are accurate, though. I always thought that "nerd" implies a lack of social skill, whereas "geek" implies expertise in an esoteric subject. "Geek" makes me think of Peter Parker. "Dork" to me carries a general sort of goofiness.

Anyway, I like to call myself a geek, but I have good social skills, and only own Star Trek action figures. :D
