    Neither of those terms come to mind, that's for sure.

    Geek. Definitely geek.

    Watch The Big Bang Theory.

    Sheldon is a nerd.

    Leonard is a geek.

    Geek....100% You can be all things awesomeness, which you are, and have the intelligence and quirks of a nerd. By definition, a nerd is not worthy of your awesomeness:

    Nerd is a derogatory slang term for a person typically described as intellectual, socially-impaired, and obsessive who spends inordinate amounts of time on unpopular, obscure, or highly technical pursuits, or relating to topics of fiction or fantasy, to the exclusion of more mainstream activities.[1][2][3] Nerds are considered to be awkward, shy, and unattractive.[4] Thus, a nerd is often excluded from physical activity and considered a loner by others, or will tend to associate with a small group of like-minded people.

    Nerds like to make the stuff that Geeks like to play with. ;)

    The nerd writes the book, the geek coplays... or something like that.

    No its good now.

    It's quite popular to be a geek (or pretend to be).

    It's also popular to pretend to be a nerd . . . .

    To me "geek" is a mainstream version. it is popular to be a geek. You can be a Firefly fan, Star Trek fan, collect Star Wars figures, etc and that makes you a geek. it's like having a "non-mainstream" niche.

    To be a nerd would almost like being functionally autistic. They work better with their specialized field alone. They are socially awkward to an extreme. I have known true nerds. Fantastic people, but they make me sad. We'd be lost without them.

    I'm a nerd, a geek and a dork.

    I'm well-rounded. :happy:

    Edited to add: I'm a geek because I love Lord of the Rings. I'm a nerd because I read Lord of the Rings. I'm a dork because with all the hot guys in that movie, my favorite character is Gimli.

    You are far from socially impaired.

    To me nerd is more of a gamer, dungeons and dragons type. Geeks are the math, science and computer programmer types.
    I like to think that I'm both.

    To be honest back in the day I believe . . .

    A geek had all of the social awkwardness of a nerd but not nearly as much of the intelligence.

    Nowadays, that is not the popular definition since being a geek has become a good thing since that time.
