    I'm mostly a geek with a little bit of nerd blood.

    Oh and I think Sheldon from the Big Bang Theory is kind of sexy :blushing:

    Im insulted by this.

    WILL FERRELL? Ugh. Nerds and geeks alike should NOT like this guy.


    Also - the rest of it is pretty insulting. Whoever made it is a wannabe geek/nerd. Or a jock. I dont get it.

    booooooooooooooooo

    Nerd. Though I lose points on not liking The Matrix.

    Mostly geek with random nerd tendencies. After all, I teach all day in a computer lab.

    I also tend to agree with you about the inaccuracy of the infographic. To me a geek is a socially acceptable (almost wannabe) nerd. I find nerds to be unable to interface with humans. Many "geeks" think that because their love for a certain niche (see Firefly, Battlestar Galatica, Star Trek, etc), that makes them a geek. Labels are what you make of them, but I have known some true nerds and they made me uncomfortable.

    I blame Big Bang Theory for the current "trend" of calling oneself a geek.

    Its obnoxious.

    Yeah. Grew tired of the show's OTT lampooning after the first season, in particular with the whole Penny(?) thing and that all nerds are socially inept/awkward. Though admittedly, being that I've married a physicist to make me feel better about my own nerdery, the show is spot on with some of it.

    Im sure theres entertaining bits and pieces of that show.
    BUT basically it makes me rage harder than anything. Like...more than Dr Oz, Will Ferrell, and Bono combined.

    According to the graphic I'm a nerd with geeky undertones, mostly I have a SERIOUS hate on for all things MAC, like Donnie Darko, Tron, and Office Space, and married my nerdy husband who I still find insanely attractive! As a sidenote, I'm with anyone that believes that idiot Will Ferrell should be banned from living. ::giggles:: I also have a tendency to spout obscure facts from my childhood/favorite movies in conversation.

    Because knowing is half the battle.

    ... The other half is bullets! I'm TOTALLY gonna have that shirt made someday when I can fit into t-shirts again! ^_~

    Oh my goodness, THANK YOU for posting this! It is hilarious!!! Honestly, we were having this conversation at work with one of the docs. We were calling him a geek (because he said something geeky) and he was like --- what... no no I'm cool! And so we said, that's why we didn't call him a nerd. lol. He was too cool to be one.

    This makes me laugh!

    BTW, I am a TOTAL geek!

    Oh Hai, I'm both.


    BTW - I could probably build a scale model of the Battlestar Galactica from memory. Major geekery points there me thinks.


    Also, I just said "me thinks." Case and point, folks.
