Difference Between Nerd and Geek
Has anyone written a scientific treatise on the differences between nerd and geek?
On the one hand, I could instigate endless debate about the finer points of nerds.
On the other hand I could construct nerds with a 3-D meat printer.
merriam-webster has something on the lower part of the page.
it seems very close to what others have said: dork is the generally awkward fellow. nerd is the hobbyist who sacrificed socializing to the art. geek are the nerds with some niche circle.
